Jose Manuel Caballero, vicepresidente segundo de Castilla La Mancha anuncia 2,5 millones para los Centros de Excelencia de la FP en 2026
She starts with tape from the field, not the spreadsheet. Listening to enterprise sales calls, Amy Foo heard customers whose usage rose and fell with seasons. Fixed per-seat pricing “wasn't quite hitting the mark,” she tells us, so she piloted a pooled-seat model that flexed monthly within an annual commitment—turning smaller clips into “one to five million” deals and lifting revenue “six to seven times per customer,” she tells us.That instinct—to meet the customer where they are—threads through her journey. Early at Zendesk, she was “employee number one in the region,” handling FP&A, accounting, taxes, and team-building as the business scaled, she tells us. Trust won her a dual path: SVP of Global Finance Operations (deal desk, billings, shared services) and APAC managing director, aligning teams across seven countries, she tells us. Mentors' unvarnished feedback helped her shed imposter syndrome and lead without geographic ceilings.Today at Ignition, she reduces complexity to a few levers—ARR, payments volume, cash flow—and aligns accordingly, she tells us. She monitors top-of-funnel quality and pipeline coverage daily to steer marketing spend and sales motions, she tells us. On pricing, she watches what customers pay and repackages value by segment, she tells us. She leads with customer insight, she tells us.As for AI, she calls it “not a magic pill,” advocating first for AI built into existing vendors, then new tools where capabilities are missing, she tells us. Finance, after all, is “about narrative and conviction”—numbers that move people to act, she tells us.

Send us a textEpisode #147: Too many finance teams are stuck formatting data while the decisions fly by. We tackle a smarter way to work: build capacity by aligning effort to strategy, automating the grind, and developing the skills that turn reports into results. Stephen McLean walks through a practical approach for FP&A and accounting leaders who want to shield their teams from noise, prioritize what matters, and partner with IT to unlock automation without a costly tech overhaul. The focus is simple—reduce friction, raise insight, and spend more time advising than assembling.We start with clarity: how to map every role and deliverable to a strategic objective, choose the leading indicators that actually drive action, and say no to work that doesn't move the needle. From there, we dig into process and systems—standardizing inputs, automating routine pulls and reconciliations, and using collaborative workspaces so knowledge isn't trapped in inboxes. Along the way, we challenge the culture of daily fire drills and offer a guardrail: route ad-hoc requests through a priority gate so the team's best hours aren't lost to random tasks.Finally, we talk people. Coaching time management, building stronger analysis and storytelling skills, and running short, focused development sprints can transform morale and output. A tighter partnership with IT helps you ship quick wins—scheduled queries, clean templates, and self-serve dashboards—that free analysts to interpret trends and shape choices. Expect clear takeaways you can apply this week: an audit of calendars and tasks, a skills plan that sticks, and an automation backlog that delivers measurable time back.Episode outline:Clarify priorities and align with strategic goals,Leverage tools and automation, andBuild capacity through development.Please connect with me on:1.

“InvoiceCloud is not just payments,” Chris Sands tells us. Sitting inside the company's finance organization, he sees a platform built to change habits—helping businesses shift customers from paper invoices and mailed checks to fully digital transactions. The success metric, he adds, is simple: “Do more of their customers stop receiving paper invoices, stop mailing in checks, and do both of those things digitally?”That clear yardstick reflects how Sands thinks about growth. He describes a foundation rooted in existing customers even as the broader economy accelerates toward digital payment adoption. Utilities and insurers remain core markets, yet new verticals, such as consumer finance, beckon. Each expansion, he notes, must rest on data that confirms user behavior is truly changing.Inside finance, Sands has built what he calls a Strategic Finance function to mirror that discipline. The group handles special projects and, increasingly, AI initiatives—efforts he says once fell entirely within FP&A. Now they stand on their own “leg of the stool,” amplifying how finance supports innovation.That mindset extends beyond the department. Sands helped stand up an AI Ops team—an internal SWAT group that guides employees exploring AI tools. Instead of experimenting in isolation, staff can bring use cases to the team for help. For Sands, finance's role is to stay analytical amid the excitement: “We can add more value … by helping the rest of the org with [AI] and using our finance skill set to understand where the best opportunities to create business value exist.”
Aus Burschenschaften dringt wenig nach außen. Sie sind verschworene Männerbünde, die großen Wert auf Diskretion legen. Doch ausgerechnet die Burschenschaft, bei der Walter Rosenkranz Mitglied ist, gewährt uns Einblicke in diese Welt. Und lässt uns sogar dorthin vor, wo blutige Mensuren gefochten werden. Wir treffen den Vorsitzenden der deutschnationalen, schlagenden Verbindung – und erfahren, dass er einst mit Walter Rosenkranz studiert und gefochten hat. Alexis Pascuttini, Aussteiger aus einem schlagenden Corps, erzählt in Folge zwei von seinem Alltag in der Verbindung – von strengen Hierarchien, Seilschaften und merkwürdigen Bräuchen. Doch was passiert, wenn die Traditionen hinterfragt werden? Und was wird in der Verbindung totgeschwiegen? In dieser Folge zu hören: Dieter Derntl (Steuerberater, Obmann Burschenschaft Libertas), Judith Götz (Politikwissenschafterin, Universität Innsbruck), Alexis Pascuttini (Rechtsanwalt, Gemeinderat in Graz, früher FPÖ, heute "Korruptionsfreier Gemeinderatsklub"), Bernhard Weidinger (Politikwissenschafter, Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstands); Moderation und Skript: Lucia Heisterkamp und Antonia Rauth; Redaktion: Käthe Bergmann, Benjamin Braden, Zsolt Wilhelm; Produktion: Philipp Fackler
In this episode of Planning Aces, host Jack Sweeney and resident thought leader Brett Knowles explore how finance leaders are approaching AI's early returns—balancing efficiency, experimentation, and human judgment. CFO Craig Foster of Pax8 discusses how AI enablement is driving measurable productivity gains. CFO David Obstler of Datadog reflects on finding ROI amid rapid innovation and market demand. And CFO Ben Gammell of Brex shares why forecasting still requires human intuition despite data-driven progress. Together, their insights reveal a spectrum of FP&A strategies defining the modern CFO's mindset toward AI adoption and business transformation.Brett Knowles' Key TakeawaysBrett Knowles observes that finance leaders are positioning themselves along a broad continuum—from bold experimentation to cautious skepticism—when it comes to AI in planning. He notes a shift in tone: CFOs are now openly discussing productivity gains and cost efficiency rather than avoiding them. Knowles cautions against overreliance on ROI metrics, emphasizing instead disciplined cost management, pragmatic experimentation, and the evolving role of finance in navigating technology-driven transformation.

When Kimberlee Duval arrived at Cymbiotika, the wellness company was preparing a leap few bootstrapped brands attempt—moving from direct-to-consumer to retail shelves. “Our two owners, Charlene and Shahab, have done everything direct,” she tells us. “They wanted to build an organization for the long term.” That resolve led the company to take on debt rather than private-equity money to fund its Sprouts launch in 2024. The risk paid off: Sprouts highlighted Cymbiotika's success in its quarterly earnings release, proof that intentional growth can outperform speed.Now, with products heading to 1,988 Target stores, Duval's finance team is focused on scaling without losing clarity. “We restructured the finance function to align with that growth strategy,” she tells us, pointing to centralized operations in NetSuite, expanded FP&A and cost accounting capabilities, and the creation of clear SOPs. Technology, she believes, is the enabler that keeps teams lean and insights sharp.“There's no reason to segregate between the groups,” she explains, describing her cross-channel approach to e-commerce and retail finance. AI tools and automated workflows now handle much of the transactional load, freeing her people to focus on analysis and collaboration.At the heart of her leadership philosophy is unity. “We're a team … with a common purpose and a common goal,” Duval tells us. That ethos—pairing disciplined systems with shared intent—continues to shape Cymbiotika's transformation from a digital wellness brand into a multichannel movement for intentional living.

To build a world-class FP&A process in a SaaS or AI business, you need more than great dashboards—you need clean, reliable data from the right sources. In episode #317, Ben Murray shares the four foundational SaaS finance data sources that power accurate forecasts, meaningful metrics, and board-ready financial models.

Dutzende schlagende Verbindungsmänner sitzen für die FPÖ im Parlament, seit 2024 ist mit Walter Rosenkranz ein Burschenschafter erster Nationalratspräsident und damit der zweitmächtigste Mann im Land. Diese Inside-Austria-Serie geht der Frage nach, ob rechtsextreme Männerbündler zunehmend die Macht in Österreich übernehmen und wie gefährlich ihr Einfluss ist. Burschenschaften sind meist verschworene Gemeinschaften, aus denen kaum etwas nach außen dringt. Wenn, dann sorgen deutschnationale Verbindungen oft durch rechtsextreme Skandale für Schlagzeilen. Der Podcast erzählt, was in Burschenschaften vor sich geht, wie radikal sie sind und wir wie groß ihre politische Macht in Österreich ist. Und, wie durch die AfD auch in Deutschland immer mehr Männerbündler politischen Einfluss gewinnen. Dafür zeichnet das Team den Weg von Walter Rosenkranz vom Fuchs in einer Studentenverbindung zum österreichischen Nationalratspräsidenten nach. Außerdem begleitet Inside Austria einen ehemaligen FPÖ-Politiker, der aus einer deutschnationalen Verbindung ausgetreten ist. Expertinnen und Autoren, die seit Jahren im Milieu dieser Verbindungen recherchieren, schildern ihre Erkenntnisse und das Team gibt seltene Einblicke in eine Burschenschaft. Moderiert wird Inside Austria – Die Macht der Burschenschaften von Lucia Heisterkamp (DER SPIEGEL) und Antonia Rauth (DER STANDARD). Die erste Folge erscheint an diesem Samstag, 4. Oktober 2025, überall, wo es Podcasts gibt. STANDARD-Abonnentinnen und - Abonnenten können dann bereits alle fünf Folgen exklusiv anhören, für alle anderen erscheint bis zum 1. November 2025 jede Woche Samstag eine neue Folge.

Send us a textEpisode 145: What happens when your FP&A team operates in isolation from the people actually running your business? Nothing good. The gap between finance and operations isn't just an organizational issue—it's a strategic vulnerability that could be costing your company significant competitive advantage.Bridging this divide creates transformative opportunities. When finance professionals develop deep partnerships with operations teams, forecasting becomes dramatically more accurate, resource allocation improves, and the organization gains agility to respond to market changes. This alignment doesn't happen accidentally—it requires intentional leadership and cultural development focused on building mutual trust.A well-aligned FP&A team operates as a true strategic partner rather than just a reporting function. They maintain a forward-looking mindset using forecasting, scenario analysis, and sensitivity testing to guide decisions instead of merely reporting historical results. Processes become streamlined, data grows more accurate, and finance professionals proactively engage with department leaders to translate strategy into measurable financial plans.The alternative? Disconnected financial plans, unrealistic budgets, inefficient resource allocation, and the inability to respond quickly to changing market conditions. Operations may pursue initiatives that don't reflect financial constraints, while finance imposes limitations without understanding operational needs. Communication breakdowns reduce trust, weaken decision-making, and ultimately erode competitiveness.Ready to transform this relationship in your organization? Start by developing a common language that translates finance terms into operational impacts. Build trust by providing insights that help operations succeed rather than just highlighting problems. Know the micro-details of the metrics you analyze, and be willing to step away from your desk to understand what's really driving performance. Remember: finance leaders have both the ethical and fiduciary responsibility to move the business forward through powerful partnerships.Episode outline:The benefits of properly strategically aligning your FP&A team,What happens when FP&A is not aligned, andA few steps to get started.Please connect with me on:1.

Zákon o fonde na podporu umenia ukladá povinnosť komunikovať so žiadateľmi, samosprávnymi krajmi aj kultúrnou obcou. Napriek tomu k výrazným zmenám dochádza bez varovania, za zatvorenými dverami a podľa umelcov aj v rozpore so zákonom.Neprešli ešte ani dva roky od nástupu ministerky kultúry Martiny Šimkovičovej a Fond na podporu umenia sa podarilo spolitizovať. Moninanti rezortu zmenili rozdelenie peňazí, s ktorými fond disponuje. Na priority ministerstva kultúry pôjde v budúcom roku sedem a pol milióna eur. Teda štvrtina celkového rozpočtu FPU.Pocítia to knižnice, nezávislé divadlá, galérie aj regionálne kulturné centrá.„Od minulého roka, kedy došlo k zmene zákona o FPÚ, prichádza k postupnému ovládnutiu verejnoprávnej nezávislej inštitúcie priamo ministerstvom kultúry. Tento bod, kedy dokumenty fondu pripravuje zamestnankyňa ministerstva, je toho zavŕšením," hovorí o zmenách vo fungovaní FPÚ Ľudovít Nápoký, koordinátor organizácie Anténa - sieť pre nezávislú kultúru.Počúvate Aktuality Nahlas, pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Kristína Braxatorová.

Every Board, investor, and potential acquirer is asking the same question: How are AI initiatives driving revenue? In episode #315, Ben Murray shares insights from his research into public tech companies and how they're defining and disclosing AI ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue). Using Verint as a case study, Ben explains how companies are leveraging AI-driven ARR, tying it to measurable outcomes, and communicating adoption in a way that resonates with both Wall Street and buyers. You'll also hear how these disclosures may have supported Verint's recent multibillion-dollar acquisition by Thoma Bravo. If you're a SaaS or AI operator, this episode will help you define AI ARR, communicate adoption signals, and position your business model for higher valuation. What You'll Learn What AI ARR is and how to calculate it. Why public companies like Verint are breaking out AI ARR from total ARR. The mechanics: how finance teams identify AI-influenced products and SKUs. Quantitative + qualitative adoption signals (e.g., number of users leveraging AI features). Why AI ARR disclosures matter for investor metrics and exit valuations. How Thoma Bravo's acquisition of Verint shows the value of communicating AI initiatives. Why It Matters For SaaS & AI Leaders: Properly defining AI ARR helps show investors where new growth is coming from. For Finance Teams: Accurate reporting requires collaboration across accounting, product, and FP&A. For Investors: AI ARR signals measurable adoption and future revenue growth. For Valuation: Tying AI initiatives to financial outcomes increases credibility in fundraising and exit scenarios. Resources Mentioned Blog Post: How to Define AI ARR: https://www.thesaascfo.com/ai-arr-vs-saas-arr-how-to-define-and-calculate/ The SaaS Metrics Academy: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/ Quote from Ben “Don't just say you're building AI into your product — show investors how much ARR it's driving and what outcomes it's creating.”
Österreich ist nicht mehr nur schön und harmlos, Kaiserschmarrn und Kultur. Österreich ist instabil: Nur die Angst vor Herbert Kickl hält die Regierung zusammen, die Wirtschaft ist einer tiefen Krise, sicherheitspolitisch ist das Land Europas weiche Flanke. Österreich ist klein, aber explosiv. Herbert Kickl, Chef der Freiheitlichen Partei Österreichs (FPÖ) hat die Wahl im Herbst 2024 zwar gewonnen und nur Angst vor ihm haben sich die Wahlverlierer zu einer Regierung gegen ihn zusammengefunden. Doch Kickl hat zum Abschied gedroht: «Heute ist nicht aller Tage, ich komm' wieder keine Frage». Das ist ein Zitat aus der Zeichentrickserie «Pink Panther» und heute ein Erkennungssignal der Rechtsextremen. Österreich scheint wie immer zu sein: Kaiserschmarrn, Droschken, Sachertorte, Musik und Theater, noch immer mit etwas Glanz der königlich-kaiserlichen, der k.u.k. Monarchie. Ein Irrtum: In Tat und Wahrheit ist die Republik Österreich instabil: Zurzeit liegt Kickls FPÖ in den Umfragen bei 36%, ein Rekordwert. Seine Partei dominiert die sozialen Medien und erreicht einen Drittel der Bevölkerung mit eigenen Medien. Das moderne Österreich ist in der tiefsten Wirtschaftskrise seit seiner Unabhängigkeit vor genau 70 Jahren. Und sicherheitspolitisch drohe es «ein schwarzes Loch in Europa zu werden», warnen Militärs. Doch die ukrainische Grenze ist von Wien aus näher als Bregenz am Bodensee.

Desde las guerras napoleónicas el tamaño de Rusia ha sido su mayor fortaleza estratégica. Pero ahora, con un tipo de guerra un tanto novedosa, Ucrania ha transformado esta ventaja en una debilidad mediante una campaña de bombardeos de largo alcance que explota la incapacidad rusa de proteger la totalidad de sus cielos. Desde el inicio de la guerra Ucrania ha atacado refinerías, pero esa campaña ha ido a más con el tiempo, especialmente en el último mes, cuando se han producido más de diez ataques contra el sistema de refino y distribución de petróleo. Esto no lo están consiguiendo con aviación convencional, sino con drones de desarrollo propio que pueden atacar en profundidad y disponen de software avanzado y gran poder destructivo. Según el gobierno ucraniano el 40% de este tipo de operaciones se han dirigido este año a refinerías, mientras que el resto ha apuntado a infraestructuras de almacenamiento y bombeo. Los ataques con drones han reducido hasta un 20% la capacidad de refino rusa. Eso equivale a más de un millón de barriles diarios. Para el esfuerzo de guerra la gasolina y, sobre todo, el gasóleo son fundamentales ya que los camiones de transporte y varios modelos de tanque tienen motores diesel. En las refinerías, las unidades de craqueo, difíciles de reemplazar con las sanciones occidentales, han sufrido daños importantes. Esa es la causa que hay detrás de la escasez de combustible, las largas colas en las estaciones de servicio y el incremento del 55% en el precio mayorista de la gasolina que se ha registrado desde principios de año. El Gobierno se ha visto obligado incluso a suspender temporalmente las exportaciones de gasolina. Si el ejército ucraniano mantiene este ritmo de ataques la capacidad del Kremlin para financiar las operaciones de guerra podría verse comprometida. El éxito ucraniano se debe en buena medida a un dron kamikaze, el FP-1, desarrollado íntegramente en Ucrania y operativo desde el mes de mayo. Tiene un alcance de 1.600 kilómetros, una ojiva que puede cargar hasta 120 kilos y un coste de 55.000 dólares por unidad, es decir, tres veces y media menos que el Shahed iraní que emplean los rusos. Con una producción de 100 unidades diarias, el FP-1 representa más de la mitad de los ataques que realiza Ucrania gracias a su alcance y a la precisión que posee en entornos de guerra electrónica. A los problemas en las refinerías se suman a otros muchos que arrastra la economía rusa desde hace meses. Este año la actividad económica no relacionada con la defensa ha entrado en recesión. El PIB ha crecido sólo un 0,1% en el segundo trimestre tras una caída del 0,6% en el primero. Las ventas de automóviles han caído un 30% en el primer semestre, y el índice de compras industrial está en su punto más bajo desde el comienzo de la guerra. En el sector financiero, VTB, el segundo banco más grande del país, ha informado de un aumento del 32% en los impagos de préstamos y una caída del 49% en ingresos por intereses. El sector inmobiliario tiene también problemas y 13 de las 78 mayores empresas de Rusia no pueden pagar sus deudas. Algunas sanciones, como el arancel del 25% de EEUU a India por comprar petróleo ruso, amenazan directamente los ingresos del Kremlin, cuyo presupuesto es muy dependiente de la exportación de hidrocarburos. Ciertas nacionalizaciones de activos, como una muy sonada del aeropuerto moscovita de de Domodedovo en junio, revelan que están empezando a tomar medidas desesperadas para financiar el déficit. Estos problemas económicos podrían forzar a Putin a sentarse en la mesa de negociaciones antes de que la situación empeore.

Se divide en dos ciclos: de 0 a 3 años y de 3 a 6 años. El segundo ciclo suele ser gratuito en centros públicos. Educación Primaria (6-12 años): Es obligatoria y gratuita. Dura seis cursos académicos y se organiza en tres ciclos de dos años cada uno. Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) (12-16 años): También obligatoria y gratuita. Consta de cuatro cursos. Al finalizar, los estudiantes obtienen el título de Graduado en Educación Secundaria. Bachillerato (16-18 años): Es voluntario, pero necesario para acceder a la universidad. Dura dos años y ofrece varias modalidades: Ciencias, Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales, y Artes. Formación Profesional (FP): Alternativa al Bachillerato. Hay FP de grado básico, medio y superior. Prepara para el mundo laboral con un enfoque más práctico. Educación Universitaria: Se accede tras el Bachillerato y la prueba de acceso (EBAU o “Selectividad”). Las carreras suelen durar 4 años (Grado), con posibilidad de continuar con un Máster (1-2 años) y luego un Doctorado. Método de enseñanza En general, el sistema educativo español combina teoría y práctica, aunque con un enfoque tradicional en muchas asignaturas. En los últimos años se ha promovido el aprendizaje por competencias, el trabajo en equipo y el uso de tecnologías digitales. Los profesores suelen seguir un currículo nacional, aunque cada comunidad autónoma tiene cierta autonomía para adaptarlo. Las clases son mayoritariamente presenciales, con evaluaciones continuas y exámenes finales. Coste de la educación Educación pública: Es gratuita en las etapas obligatorias. Las familias solo pagan materiales, libros y, en algunos casos, comedor o actividades extraescolares. Educación concertada: Centros privados con financiación pública. Suelen pedir una “aportación voluntaria” mensual. Educación privada: Totalmente financiada por las familias. Los precios varían mucho según el centro. Universidad: Las universidades públicas tienen tasas asequibles en comparación con otros países europeos. El coste medio por curso ronda entre 700 y 2.000 euros, dependiendo de la carrera y la comunidad autónoma. Elección de carrera universitaria Al terminar el Bachillerato, los estudiantes realizan la EBAU (Evaluación del Bachillerato para el Acceso a la Universidad). Esta prueba, junto con la nota media del Bachillerato, determina la nota de corte para acceder a cada carrera. Cada universidad y cada grado tiene una nota mínima de acceso, que varía cada año según la demanda. Por ejemplo, Medicina suele tener notas de corte muy altas, mientras que otras carreras como Historia o Filosofía tienen requisitos más bajos. Becas y ayudas El Ministerio de Educación y las comunidades autónomas ofrecen becas para estudiantes de todos los niveles. Las más comunes son: Becas generales: Para estudios postobligatorios (Bachillerato, FP, universidad). Cubren matrícula, transporte, material, etc. Becas de movilidad: Para estudiantes que estudian fuera de su comunidad autónoma. Becas Erasmus+: Para cursar parte de los estudios universitarios en otro país europeo. Ayudas específicas: Para estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales o en situación económica vulnerable. Las becas se conceden en función de la renta familiar y del rendimiento académico. Otros aspectos importantes Lenguas cooficiales: En comunidades como Cataluña, Galicia o el País Vasco, la enseñanza se imparte también en la lengua cooficial (catalán, gallego o euskera). Educación para adultos: Existen centros específicos para personas mayores de 18 años que desean obtener títulos oficiales o continuar su formación. Educación especial: Hay recursos y centros adaptados para estudiantes con discapacidad o necesidades educativas especiales. En resumen, el sistema educativo español ofrece una estructura sólida y accesible, con múltiples caminos para adaptarse a las necesidades e intereses de cada estudiante. Aunque no está exento de desafíos, como la desigualdad entre comunidades o la presión académica, también ofrece oportunidades reales de crecimiento, formación y movilidad social.

FP columnist Emma Ashford makes the case that we're entering a post-unipolar world—that countries can sense that the United States is no longer an unchallenged superpower. If that's the case, how should Washington adapt its foreign policy? Ashford sits down with host Ravi Agrawal to discuss her new book, First Among Equals: U.S. Foreign Policy in a Multipolar World. Plus, One Thing from Ravi on South Korea's latest soft power hit, KPop Demon Hunters. Ravi Agrawal: Is America Now Merely the First Among Equals? Emma Ashford: Passing the Baton in Europe Stephen M.

Are AI bank feeds helping—or just creating more work? Blake and David unpack Intuit's missteps, why “use AI to make the rules” matters, and how a no‑code agent now posts multi‑line bills to Xero. They demo Excel's new "copilot()" function, share how FP&A roles are shifting, and hit headlines from Barstool's lawsuit to tariffs and Gusto's Guideline deal. You'll leave with practical ways to deploy AI, avoid hidden risks, and boost margins.SponsorsOnPay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/onpay TeamUp - http://accountingpodcast.promo/teamupDigits - http://accountingpodcast.promo/digitsChapters(00:43) - Planning with AI (02:03) - The Threat of AI to Consultants (04:41) - AI in QuickBooks: A Double-Edged Sword (06:19) - AI's Limitations and Future in Accounting (27:02) - Excel's New AI Copilot (28:22) - Introducing the Copilot Function in Excel (33:50) - AI in the Workplace: Challenges and Opportunities (37:44) - Barstool Sports vs. Omega Accounting Solutions (41:29) - New Tariff Policies and Their Impact (53:45) - Gusto Acquires Guideline for Retirement Services (54:26) - Conclusion and CPE Information Show NotesBring AI to your formulas with the COPILOT function in Excel https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoft365insiderblog/bring-ai-to-your-formulas-with-the-copilot-function-in-excel/4443487FP&A pros anticipate AI-driven headcount reductions https://www.accountingtoday.com/news/fp-a-pros-anticipate-ai-driven-headcount-reductionsPresident Trump Ends Unfair "De Minimis" Tariff Exemption, A Major Victory in Securing the Homeland https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/07/31/president-trump-ends-unfair-de-minimis-tariff-exemption-major-victory-securingFact Sheet: President Donald J.

Day 1,274.Today, as President Donald Trump says the US may provide air support to back a Ukraine peace deal, we assess reports that as many as 10 European countries are considering putting boots on the ground if Russia agrees to end its war. Then we take a step back and try to make sense of the historic past few days. What, if anything, has changed? Then we hear a dispatch Adelie recorded in Ukraine at the funeral of journalist Victoria Roshchyna.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Adélie Pojzman-Pontay (Journalist and Producer). @adeliepjz on X.Content Referenced:US air force could police Ukraine's skies to ensure peace (The Telegraph):https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/08/19/us-air-force-police-ukraine-skies-peace-deal-russia-trump/ Ten European countries ‘ready' to send forces to Ukraine (The Telegraph):https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/08/20/ukraine-russia-war-latest-news-trump-peace/ ‘Nearly two million more casualties': The numbers that show Russia is years from victory (Roland Oliphant in The Telegraph):https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/08/19/russia-is-years-from-victory-trump-putin/ Dance Of The Flamingos: Ukraine's FP-5 Heavy Cruise Missile (Covert Shores):http://www.hisutton.com/Ukrainian-FP-15-Flamingo-Cruise-Missile.htmlTrump Revokes Security Clearances of 37 Former and Current Officials (New York Times):https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/us/politics/trump-security-clearances.html ‘The Steel Porcupine' – Russia's campaign of extermination by Benjamin I.
