In this episode, I sit down with the co-founder of Financial Cents to unpack the real tension behind “all-in-one vs best-of-breed” in accounting firm tech. We talk through what a practice management system should actually own, why most firms really buy PM for visibility and peace of mind, and where workflow is headed next, especially around month-end close. We also get into how Financial Cents decides what to build vs integrate, why client experience and portal consolidation matters, and where AI belongs inside practice management versus point solutions.
