Course Description

What are your small business clients looking for? Another way to pay. With inflation persisting, having choices when it comes to payments is helpful to keep cash flow in check. A strategic, tech-enabled spend management approach helps organizations understand their financials in real time, and that’s where your firm can play a major advisory role.

In this webinar, CPA.com’s Kim Blascoe is joined by former CPA and technology expert Richard Corn from BILL to discuss how firms can set their clients up to leverage business cards with automated expense management. Learn how to shift to a customizable process utilizing both physical and virtual cards to precisely control spending before it occurs.

Learning Objectives:


  • Recognize how spend management technology, including software-controlled physical and virtual cards, enables clients to proactively budget

  • Identify advisory opportunities that exist when shifting from reactive expense management to a modern, proactive spend and expense management process

  • Recall the benefits of an integrated financial operations tech stack and the impact it has on automation, efficiency, and time savings

  • Differentiate between different payment modalities and rails, and recognize the benefits of each

About Our Presenter

CPA.com was formed by the American Institute of CPAs. AICPA leadership knew the unprecedented pace of technological change required firms to adapt quickly and overcome the challenges of the partnership model to meet that goal. It charged CPA.com management with creating a business model, value proposition and infrastructure to help firms identify emerging trends and technologies and provide education, training and resources that would accelerate adoption.

 

CPA.com serves as a catalyst in the development of virtual CFO/controller services by firms and is now shifting its focus to similar innovations in tax and audit practices, with an emphasis on automation, artificial intelligence and the adoption of blockchain technology.
