In this episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, we sit down with Robert Israch, President of Tipalti, to explore the critical role finance automation plays in the growth and IPO readiness of tech companies. With the UK's tech IPO market showing signs of revival, driven by potential listings like Raspberry Pi, the strategic insights and planning of finance teams are more crucial than ever. Rob shares his perspective on how excessive manual processes within finance departments can hinder growth and recovery, and how automation offers a path to efficiency and success. Rob highlights the significant burden that manual processes place on finance teams. On average, processing a single supplier invoice can take 42 minutes, a time-consuming task that stifles growth and impedes strategic financial management. Efficient finance operations are essential for companies preparing for IPOs, and Rob discusses how automation can streamline these processes to provide the necessary financial visibility and control. One of the main barriers to automation adoption is the skill gaps within finance teams, along with the challenge of selecting suitable tools and overcoming perceived complexities. Rob offers insights into how these barriers can be addressed and overcome, making the case for why finance leaders should prioritize automation. Tipalti's finance automation solutions are designed to help fast-growing tech companies streamline manual back-office processes such as accounts payable, expenses, and procurement. By automating these operations, companies can achieve a 50-80% reduction in workload, avoid the need for future hiring, improve controls and compliance, and gain better visibility into spending. Rob shares compelling customer examples to illustrate the benefits of finance automation. For instance, Spitfire Audio was able to reduce its royalty payment process from six weeks to just 30 minutes, while Schoold avoided the need to hire an additional full-time finance employee. These examples underscore the transformative impact of automation on efficiency and strategic financial management. For companies considering automation, Rob advises starting by researching options and working with vendors to evaluate fit through live demos. He emphasizes the importance of ease of implementation, user experience, and scalability in selecting the right tools. Tipalti's approach balances the breadth and depth of capabilities with simplicity, ensuring a positive customer experience and long-term fit. Built for fast-growth mid-market companies, Tipalti has a high customer retention rate, reflecting its ability to scale with its clients and support their evolving needs.

If you’ve ever had with a landlord, you probably don’t dream of being one: The thought of dealing with on-going maintenance and tenant calls can sound less than glamorous. But done right, real estate investing can be lucrative and freeing. You can add an additional income stream, and possibly leave that 9-5.  Not only that, but with current technology and management resources- you don’t necessarily need to show up often, if at all. The challenge is, not many people know where to start when it comes to investing in real estate- or what kind of property is best for them. Today’s instructor, Kendra Barnes, is a full-time Real Estate Investor and founder of The Key Resource. Her real estate investments afforded her the ability to retire from the 9-5 life at the age of 32. She created The Key Resource to inspire, empower and educate people about the power of home ownership and Real Estate investment. She currently owns and manages 4 properties (8 rental units total)- and today, she’s going to teach us how to achieve our own investment goals. By the end of this class you’ll have tools for conquering your biggest real estate fears, tips for starting your journey on a budget and first hand knowledge of what to expect when you become a landlord. Class is in session.What are the most common fears of real estate investing and how can people overcome them? Educate yourself, know your goals and figure out what type of investing is right for you. What are some tips for investing with the least amount of risk? Fundrise, invest in tax liens and Kendra's favorite is house hacking! Buy a multi-unit property and live in a unit/rent the other. AirBnb is also a great way to diversify your portfolio. How do you know if you’re financially ready? Have at least 3-6 months of your personal living expenses saved up (at minimum). Are you personally able to pay the mortgage alone for 3 months? What are some options for down payment assistance? There are so many grants and options for down payment assistance. Keep in mind, you have to use these on houses you're actually going to live in (another reason why house hacking is so great). When you’re looking at properties, what are the key characteristics to look for in a good rental? Location! What's nearby? Hospital, college, military base etc. Public transit is also something to be aware of. Go to the city planning office and see what they're planning on in the next few years. Also look at trends in the area! Once you buy the rental, what do you typically do to get it move in ready? Any budget friendly tips? Craigslist, furniture auctions (BACauctions.com) and buying unboxed appliances. How have you streamlined your process to make it easier on yourself? Using online systems for payment + communication, and setting boundaries. Kendra mentioned: Cashflow: Find it here Homework: Write down your long term goals. Write down your short term money goal.

How do food issues make their way into our public schools. As Deconstructing Dinner's Jon Steinman recalls, "I remember graduating from high school not knowing the first thing about growing food and having very little idea how the food I consumed impacted the planet on which we live." With schools being the building blocks of our society and culture, how does our government-funded education system incorporate into curriculums the most important issue facing all humans - food. Part IHost Jon Steinman takes a ride with the Nelson-based group Earth Matters as they introduce their Food-to-Table program in local public schools. As a component of the country-wide One-Tonne Challenge, the program involved in-class presentations on how our food choices influence climate change, and even saw students visit local grocery stores where food was discussed in-depth. Guests Colleen Matte and Su Donovaro - Earth Matters - Colleen and Su were the coordinators of the One-Tonne Challenge Food-to-Table program. Earth Matters is a youth-driven environmental organization based in Nelson BC. They focus on developing and running innovative experiential education programs and community development programs. Karl Machado - Teacher, L.V. Rogers Secondary School - Karl teaches a unique environmental science class for Grade 12 students. Karl has hosted the Food-to-Table program for two years in a row. Marilyn Lawrence - Teacher, A.I. Collinson Elementary School - Marilyn is the grade 4/5 teacher. Her class participated in the Food-to-Table program. Sarah Miles and Amber Johnson - Students, L.V.
