Quotables:
- 8:13 – “What you’re being told by salespeople from many of these industries is the worse I’ve seen in 40 years. In other words, they’re not portraying truthfully the exact capabilities of the product, so it’s very much buy and beware right now.”
- 28:22 – “ With today’s tools if you have a fundamental understanding of accounting and you have a little bit of control and guidance from inside the firm you can do some wonderful things for clients that are very valuable to them and frankly very profitable engagements.”
