Liz Mason And High Rock Don't Fear Bench Accounting
Liz Mason, CPA and CEO of High Rock joins the show! We're talking Arizona, today, specifically around the Maricopa County election audits, and we'll hear about some of Liz's insights into her own firms, and her work with Xero. We'll also talk about the PCAOB house-cleaning efforts. In app news, we've got a lot to talk about with the new, and not-so-popular QuickBooks pricing changes for ProAdvisors, and customers. We're taking a look at Bench's recent raise, and what it means for other providers. We've got a few surveys from Xero, Sage, and others, along with a listener voicemail, and a review! All this and more, right here, right now!
