hey it's patti scharf, cpa and co-founder of catching clouds, the leader into e-commerce
accounting do you see my daughter back there making faces at me hey so we're doing something a little different
today we are on our way to to talk to a whole bunch of people about
got started and he's going to be doing
let's see who we find there
Oh
twenty-eight so
okay so let me ask you
in our towns our
and we have all that anguish and in Canada we have something called
the fundable dividend I don't know what you guys call it and
here in Australia
and the other thing I found out
and here in Australia things with survived
I built
you're gonna
everybody all right
a long time in the making so we're excited I think we've got the epicenter
of the universe cloudy Thomas accountants here at this so it's very
exciting some kind of told me that they were
going on an adventure for several months and part of that adventure I facilities
that come to Brisbane and come and talk to us in Brisbane and so we'd be
negotiating or planning this for quite some time Scott is an absolute leading
guru in the e-commerce space and as well as having many clients in that space
also they have a popular YouTube channel and training as well he thinks that we
focused on we figured out early on is that there's no value to post every
single ecommerce transaction in Xero the books of our demo I mean whatever you're
using and you do not need to try to turn a low
class but they affordable with solid cloud the county platform into an ERP
system they're not built that way okay even if you have somebody that if it's
just five sales a day or a couple sales a day or whatever sooner or later you're
going to scale that out and it creates a bunch of this new work and it does not
make getting too accurate to financial subjects okay we post of course Amazon
every two weeks with a 2x
hey so I'm here with Heather Smith at the cloud what do you call it a cloud
accounting tomato cloud account this meter is so much for having us thank you
so much for coming so why don't you tell us a little bit about this Meetup so
we've organized this meetup for the last five days and it was an opportunity to
really deep dive into technical knowledge of an honest single topic so I
found I was going to conferences but wasn't getting enough information from
people so the concept is we had an audience 360 degree audience so by that
I mean we have developers we have users have accountants we have bookkeepers we
even have founders we have multimillionaires come along as we do
tonight and they come along and ask different questions so we all actually
benefit and learn so highly encourage people if they are thinking of if they
want to grow the cloud communities in their area to do this it's given me an
amazing opportunity to meet a lot of people to learn a lot to move further
ahead in my cloud accounting journey and a lot of partnerships are formed from
that real life interaction most of the time
I'm actually behind a computer I don't know baby but I'm in an office with my
adorable dog and this is the one day of the month guarantees that I get out of
the office to come and meet the people in Brisbane and tonight you know we were
the epicenter of e-commerce accounting in Brisbane and it was just sensational
to see so many people come together and hear from Scott and party giving a
fabulous presentation about experience that we all learned so much and
everyone's just been blown away by the information that we have learned from
what you shared with us and by running the meetup it's actually a vehicle so
we've helped someone fabulous comes and visits you can actually say hey come and
talk to us and it's you know it's it's amplifying what you did so hopefully
will be beneficial for you the long term yeah so I mean we we just had so much
fun where we love talking to other resellers other accountants and
it was great to meet a few people from tools that we don't you should like
we've either talked to you for a long time and we haven't met in person other
comes and everything so it's been great so we really appreciate you inviting us
and thank you so much thank you thank you fun
alright so we are done with the Meetup and I just wanted to see what do you
think is the biggest takeaway that the people here both the sellers and
accountants really have no idea how big Amazon's gonna be anything any like tips
of advice for the Australian accountants or sellers or or even the vendors who
get started figure out make a conscious decision if
you're going to do Amazon or not and if you decide to kind of go in slow and
figure it all out and then kind of get ahead of your peers
here in Australia okay thank you you're welcome
bye
