Inside Wirtschaft - Der Podcast mit Manuel Koch | Börse und Wirtschaft im Blick
Amazon streicht tausende Stellen und auch andere Tech-Riesen wie Meta bauen ab. In Deutschland sieht es nicht besser aus: Bosch kündigt 15.000 Stellenstreichungen an, Lufthansa weitere 4.000. Die Frage ist: Welche Jobs werden in so einem Umfeld eigentlich noch gebraucht – und welche sind besonders gefährdet? „Es gab ein starkes Over-Hiring. Kurz nach der Corona-Pandemie und auch währenddessen schon. Dort versucht man jetzt, dass Personal wieder abzubauen. Davon sind gerade die Industrie und die Tech-Industrie betroffen. Die Unternehmen haben auch das Problem, neue Mitarbeiter einzustellen, z.B. bei der KI. Das ist toxisch für den Arbeitsmarkt. Es wird immer bei Verwaltung und Back Office zuerst gekürzt. Man digitalisiert einfach mal das HR-System weg. HR ist auch ein schrumpfender Bereich. Auch die Daseinberechtigung von Mitarbeitern im mittleren Managment wird stark hinterfragt. Und auch IT-ler und Programmierer sind betroffen. Wir werden keine ganz große Entlassungswelle sehen, aber...", sagt der BWL-Influencer und Mitgründer von pumpkincareers David Döbele.

Building a "Back Office in a Box" for Small Firm ArchitectsIn this episode of the EntreArchitect Podcast, Mark R. LePage welcomes Evin Wick, a former tax lawyer who transitioned into the world of fintech entrepreneurship. Evin shares the story behind his company, S Works, an AI-powered back office solution designed to support small businesses and solo professionals. He reflects on his journey through tax law and product leadership in fintech, and how those experiences shaped his vision for simplifying bookkeeping, payroll, and tax compliance.The conversation dives into the unique challenges faced by architects and other small business owners who often struggle with financial organization and entity setup. Evin explains how technology, and specifically AI, can transform tedious tasks into streamlined, automated processes that free up valuable time. By automating 96% of transaction classifications while keeping human experts just a click away, S Works balances efficiency with personalized service. He also highlights the average $6,100 in tax savings per customer, underscoring the tangible impact this type of technology can deliver.Evin and Mark also explore the larger implications of financial hygiene and why overcoming the fear of new technology is crucial for small business success. Evin emphasizes that AI doesn't replace relationships but instead eliminates the repetitive work that prevents professionals from focusing on their passions. For architects balancing creative practice with the demands of running a firm, his insights paint a compelling picture of the future of small business finance and how the right systems can provide confidence, clarity, and long-term growth.This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Building a "Back Office in a Box" for Small Firm Architects with Evin Wick.Learn more about Evin at S-Works.io, email him at evin@s-works.io, and connect with him on LinkedIn.Please Visit Our Platform SponsorsArcatemy is Arcat's Continuing Education Program.

Kundengewinnung – eins der Themen, das viele VAs am meisten beschäftigt und leider auch oft blockiert. Ich weiß, wie frustrierend es ist, wenn die Aufträge ausbleiben, obwohl du alles gibst. Genau deshalb teile ich in dieser Episode die 5 größten Fehler, warum du keine Kunden gewinnst – und wie du sie vermeiden kannst.Ich spreche über:warum ein unklares Angebot deine Chancen massiv schmälert,wie dir eine fehlende Kundengewinnungsstrategie im Weg steht,wieso viele VAs an den falschen Dingen arbeiten und keine umsatzrelevanten Tätigkeiten umsetzen,warum es so wichtig ist, dass du dich wirklich zeigst – mit Persönlichkeit und Werten,und weshalb du dir unbedingt Unterstützung holen solltest, statt alles alleine stemmen zu wollen.Mein Ziel: dir die Augen öffnen, dich motivieren und dir zeigen, wie du mit Klarheit, Strategie und Support endlich die Kunden gewinnst, die wirklich zu dir passen.✨ HighlightsDein Angebot ist mehr als „VA für Backoffice“ – es ist die Lösung für ein ProblemKundengewinnung heißt: Kunden ziehen dich an, nicht du jagst ihnen hinterherUnterschied zwischen busy work und business work verstehenSoft Skills & Werte sind oft entscheidender als Hard SkillsUnterstützung und Community sind kein Luxus, sondern eine Abkürzung zum ErfolgKontakt zu mir
The future of banking isn't coming – it's already here. And yet, a staggering 46% of retail financial institutions admit they're either early in their digital transformation journey or still in planning stages. At the heart of this inertia lies a familiar bottleneck: legacy core systems. While over 90% of banks surveyed this year say digital transformation is either a “critical” or “high” priority, less than 10% believe their current core can fully support their goals. In this episode of Banking Transformed, I'm joined by Sandeep Lalwani, Head of UST FinX, and Barry O'Connell, Managing Director, Americas for Thought Machine. Together, we examine the real-world consequences of delayed modernization – from constrained innovation to a stunted customer experience – and explore how a modular, coexistence-based core transformation can flip the script. This is the first episode in a new series, "Building the Future-Ready Bank", sponsored by UST FinX.
Bookkeepers and Accountants.I don't hate them, they are important & necessary. However, there's a problem with them. For most tradies and builders, they are the people you go to for advice, particularly advice about your money. But the truth is, they are not very good at that .Both bookkeepers and accountants have a focus on compliance & saving - saving money, saving cost or saving tax. Bookkeepers tend to be mostly concerned with making sure your accounts are compliant with the law so you don't get in trouble. They want you to lodge your BAS or GST correctly, pay people correctly, and don't overpay your GST. Accountants care about tax; making sure you don't pay too much, don't do something that's not allowed and then get in trouble, and they care about your business structure & protecting your assets. Those are good things .The problems come when they are your main/only source of advice and guidance in the area of money and the finances of your business. Because there's more to it than that.--------------------------------------Get the Bookkeeping Guide for Trades and Builders here: https://www.smallfish.com.au/tradies/bookkeeping-guide-for-trades-and-builders-2/If you want more money (profit), more time (off work), and more freedom (from work, stress, responsibility) book a Money Call: smallfish.com.au/tradies/money-call/FOLLOW US AT:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smallfishcoach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/smallfishcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/smallfishbusinesscoach/YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/smallfishau

If you've been wanting to offer audit services but keep avoiding it because you're not sure where to start—or worried your audits won't feel professional enough—this one's for you.Creating audits that actually convert isn't about being the critique police. It's about positioning yourself as the strategic guide who helps clients see possibilities rather than problems. When done right, audits become your most powerful business development tool, whether prospects hire you immediately or not.In this episode, I'm walking you through my exact 8-section audit framework that makes clients feel excited about growth instead of overwhelmed by feedback. This is the same process I use in my agency to establish expertise while delivering genuine value.What we're covering: ✔️ Professional presentation setup that shows credibility from slide one ✔️ How to frame opportunities instead of weaknesses (language matters)✔️ Content analysis that identifies what's working and what needs adjustment ✔️ Engagement quality assessment—because two comments from ideal clients beat a hundred random ones ✔️ Action planning that gives clients three clear, achievable next stepsThe truth about audits: They're not about pointing out what's broken. They're about creating hope and direction. This framework helps you deliver both while positioning yourself as the expert they want to work with.If this resonates and you're ready to start offering professional audit services, you'll love the complete audit template that includes all these sections pre-formatted with video guidance on customization.

TIn meinem Interview mit Petra Polk sprechen wir über die starken Wellenbewegungen in ihrem Leben, über mutige Neuanfänge und die Kraft des Netzwerkens.Petra erzählt, dass sie bei ihrer ersten Gründung einfach „gemacht hat“. Ihr erstes Unternehmen war ein Gastronomieservice, gefolgt von einem Catering-Service und dem Verkauf von Häusern. Als sich ihr erster Mann von ihr trennt, beschließt sie, zurück in ein Angestelltenverhältnis zu gehen.Doch 2007 gründet sie erneut – diesmal aus der Überzeugung heraus, dass es keinen anderen Weg mehr für sie gibt. Sie macht sich als freie Maklerin für Finanzberatung selbstständig und merkt aber schnell: So wird das nichts. Auf Empfehlung einer Kollegin besucht sie erste Netzwerkevents. Anfangs unsicher und ängstlich, doch dann springt der Funke über. Petra entdeckt ihre Leidenschaft für Netzwerke und beschließt, ein eigenes Business-Netzwerk für Frauen aufzubauen.Von tiefen Krisen und NeuanfängenGemeinsam mit einer Partnerin gründet sie W.I.N. Women in Network. Sie ergänzen sich perfekt, nutzen ihre Gegensätze gezielt für ihr Business und bauen eine starke Marke auf. Das Netzwerk wächst stetig. Doch dann verändert ein Schicksalsschlag alles: Petra erhält einen Anruf von der Polizei. Ihre Geschäftspartnerin und enge Freundin ist plötzlich verstorben.Wir sprechen darüber, wie Petra die schwerste Zeit ihres Lebens erlebt und gemeistert hat, welche Kritik sie in dieser Zeit einstecken musste und warum sie erst zwölf Jahre später, im Jahr 2024, über die wahren Hintergründe zu redet.

When a restaurant's weekly salmon order suddenly spikes in price, Emma Whelan wants chefs adjusting menus the next morning—not tallying losses a month later. “The system will alert them if the price of salmon (has) gone up unexpectedly,” she tells us, describing MarginEdge's real‑time cost engine. It is a small but telling vignette from Whelan's first months as CFO, and it captures the company's wider ambition: “MarginEdge wants to create a world where restaurant operators can focus on great food and great service without having to worry about the back office,” she tells us.Whelan explains that the platform “automate(s) the key back office tasks like invoice processing, inventory and recipe costing” by pulling data directly from point‑of‑sale systems and scanned invoices. That automation replaces hours of spreadsheet drudgery and—more critically—turns yesterday's paperwork into today's decision support. The salmon alert, she notes, lets owners “switch vendors, re‑price the menu, or adjust portion sizes before it starts to impact their margins,” a response time that can separate profitable months from painful ones.Her strategic priorities echo the same urgency. Backed by Osage, Schooner Capital and Ten Coves Capital, Whelan directs new funding primarily to R&D so the software stays “at the cutting edge” of restaurant needs. Investing in talent runs a close second; Glassdoor awards and sky‑high satisfaction scores, she tells us, prove that an engaged workforce builds better products—and happier customers feel the difference. In Whelan's finance playbook, speed, clarity and culture work together, just like ingredients in a well‑seasoned dish.

By taking on the back-office tasks, it allows partners to focus on growing their brand and delivering communication solutions to their customers. The existing Wholesale program is still available for partners who have the resources and processes in place to manage the back-office billing, taxation, and regulatory tasks. Now partners have the option to choose the program that best suits their needs. “As a white-label provider, SkySwitch invests heavily in our partners' success. This goes beyond the product itself, and that's what the Foundations program is all about,” said David Hardy, General Manager of SkySwitch. “Not every partner has the desire, or bandwidth to manage these critical back-office and go-to-market functions. Having the option to outsource all that to the same partner that provides the underlying UCaaS technology can be a game-changer.” For more information about our new SkySwitch Foundations Partner Program, visit us at the Channel Partners Conference this week March 25-26 in Meeting Room 18 outside of the Expo Hall floor.

"Nearshoring provides a better work product by reducing cultural and time zone barriers," says Chris Nicoli of Kongusto. Recorded at ITEXPO 2025, this podcast features Joel Ciniero and Chris Nicoli of Kongusto, discussing how nearshoring offers a higher-quality, cost-effective alternative to traditional outsourcing. Kongusto helps MSPs, IT service providers, and businesses leverage highly skilled Latin American talent for IT support, customer service, and back-office functions. “We're more than a standard outsourcing service. Our model ensures our nearshore staff operates at a quality level that makes them feel like part of your own company,” What is Nearshoring and Why It's Different from Outsourcing? Kongusto provides nearshore labor solutions—which means high-quality outsourced staffing without the typical drawbacks. Geographical & Time Zone Advantage – Nearshoring keeps operations in similar time zones, ensuring real-time collaboration and responsiveness. Cultural Proximity – Many employees have strong ties to the U.S., speak fluent English, and understand Western business norms. Seamless Integration – Employees become an extension of your team, rather than feeling like external contractors. Expanding the Use Case Beyond IT Support Nearshoring is often associated with customer and IT support, but Kongusto provides talent for a wide range of business functions. IT Helpdesk & Customer Support – Ensure cost-effective, skilled IT and customer service professionals. Accounts Payable, Billing & Project Management – Nearshoring extends to back-office functions that can streamline operations. Scalable Workforce – Businesses can scale quickly without the expense and complexity of domestic hiring. Why MSPs & Channel Partners Should Take Notice MSPs and technology providers already leverage outsourcing, but many have yet to experience the benefits of nearshoring in Latin America. Higher Retention & Quality – Nearshore employees stay longer, integrate better, and provide a higher level of service. Cost Savings Without Compromise – Companies get skilled professionals at a fraction of U.S. labor costs, but with better cultural alignment than offshore outsourcing. Proven Model for MSPs – Kongusto was founded by experienced MSP leaders who have successfully used this approach for years. Changing Perceptions at ITEXPO Kongusto received strong interest at ITEXPO, with many attendees re-evaluating their approach to outsourcing. Initial skepticism quickly turned into curiosity and excitement. Live employee interactions helped showcase the quality and professionalism of Kongusto's nearshore staff. MSPs saw first-hand how the model can improve service delivery while cutting costs.
