“This was the first automation I saw that actually worked.”  That’s how Reed Chase, Partner at Tanner LLC—one of the top 100 accounting firms in the U.S.—described their firm’s shift from manual audit work to Trullion. Before adopting Trullion, Tanner’s team was bogged down by slow, repetitive tasks like invoice testing, manual tie-outs, and data extraction. With Trullion, they’ve cut audit task time by up to 50%, accelerated testing, and empowered their team to focus more on analysis and decision-making. The platform continues to scale across their workflows, driving real results where it matters most. A big thank-you to Tanner for partnering with us on this story. Watch the video testimonial to see how Trullion helped transform their audit process >>> Devan Romano | Tevan Valtinson, CPA | Jonathan Mubata | Reed Chase

There is a critical difference between a Controller and a CFO. But many growing businesses blur the line. A Controller is responsible for reporting what happened. A CFO uses that information to help determine what should happen next. If your CFO spends all their time in the weeds, your business is missing out on strategic value. And if your Controller is being asked to wear the CFO hat, you may be setting them up to fail. It’s time to realign your financial leadership structure. https://strategiccfo.com/

Why ASC 105 Matters Beyond Accounting Financial statements are only as reliable as the framework behind them. ASC 105 defines the authority, hierarchy, and logic that governs all US GAAP standards. Without it, consistency, comparability, and credibility in financial reporting simply do not exist. From an executive and investor perspective, ASC 105 directly impacts: • How accounting judgments are made • How new or non-standard transactions are evaluated • How disclosures reduce risk and uncertainty • How financials can be trusted for valuation, capital allocation, and forecasting ASC 105 ensures that: ✔ Financial data reflects economic reality ✔ Reporting remains adaptable as business models evolve ✔ Stakeholders can confidently compare performance across companies and periods In complex markets, strong leadership is inseparable from GAAP literacy. If you sit at the decision-making table, ASC 105 is not optional knowledge, it is strategic infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/dhk-3iBj
