If there is one challenge that resonates amongst large tax and accounting firms, it’s data visibility. Because most firms are using disconnected systems, getting a bird’s eye view across all data sets can seem next to impossible. However, by incorporating APIs, forward-looking firms are making data visibility a reality — and using it as a competitive advantage.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

Without a clear plan, valuable time can be wasted on non-priorities, leaving one exhausted and unaccomplished at the end of the day.

The first is that my portfolio has held up well this year, in a market that has been top-heavy and tech-driven, and one big reason is that it contains both NVIDIA and Microsoft, two companies that have benefited from the AI story. The second is that much as I would like to claim credit for foresight and forward thinking, AI was not even a speck in my imagination when I bought these stocks (Microsoft in 2014 and NVIDIA in 2018).
