Welcome back to The SaaS CFO Podcast! In today's episode, we're diving deep into the next generation of accounting software with Nicolas Kopp, CEO and founder of Rillet. Nicolas shares his journey from building a fully regulated bank to launching Rillet—an AI-first ERP platform designed to take on industry staples like QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and Sage Intacct. With a background grounded in finance and accounting, Nicolas brings a fresh perspective to a market that's long been dominated by legacy solutions. We'll discuss how Rillet is shaking things up for asset-light businesses in SaaS, AI, professional services, and fintech, and why the platform's robust multi-entity, multi-currency capabilities have attracted mid-market companies ready to graduate from more traditional tools. Nicolas also sheds light on the challenges of building highly regulated, mission-critical systems from scratch, what's behind their rapid customer adoption, and how an AI-native approach is changing expectations for accounting software. From funding milestones and his recent $25 million Series A, to lessons learned about product-market fit and the nuances of scaling go-to-market through channels and inbound demand, Nicolas gives us the behind-the-scenes look at Rillet's rise. If you're curious about the future of financial software—or when it's really time to make the leap from QuickBooks to a next-gen ERP—this conversation is for you. Let's get started!

Over the last five years, Jo and Zoe have built multiple businesses together—but this episode goes far beyond business. Zoe opens up about her childhood, the challenges she faced growing up in and out of care, the emotional weight of financial insecurity, and how her experiences shaped her relationship with work, success, and trust. Zoe reflects on how her early life built a sense of self-reliance that has served her—but also cost her. From buying her first house at 19 to closing her bookkeeping practice in 2020, Zoe shares how shame, pride, and practicality have collided in her journey as a businesswoman and mother. This is a rare glimpse into the vulnerability that sits behind many entrepreneurs' stories and a conversation about redefining success, legacy, and balance. What Listeners Will Learn: How childhood experiences shaped Zoe's values and independence The emotional impact of growing up in care and navigating unstable housing Why Zoe became an accountant and how the profession changed her life The real story behind closing her bookkeeping business during lockdown How shame and resilience intersect in entrepreneurship Why pricing and flexibility are vital for working parents—especially women The legacy Zoe hopes to leave for her children and the bookkeeping community ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.

Global fintech SumUp has launched SumUp Terminal, an all-in-one point of sale (POS) device that directly addresses the challenges faced by growing businesses. The device includes a card reader, POS, ordering system, and receipt printer, helping merchants manage orders, staff, inventory, and reporting in one place. This design allows staff to leave the sales counter behind, taking orders and payments directly on the shop floor or right at the table. In May this year, SumUp surveyed Irish SMEs and found that 25.5% of Irish businesses had made no key changes to their operations beyond raising prices, despite 38% stating that the current economic climate had negatively impacted their business. This highlights a concerning trend: many Irish businesses are falling behind in adopting innovative strategies to navigate growing economic uncertainty. The SumUp Terminal is a direct response to this challenge, underscoring the company's commitment to equipping merchants with tools tailored to today's evolving consumer landscape. Niall Mac an tSionnaigh, CEO of SumUp Ireland, said "At a time when many Irish businesses are feeling the pressure of rising rent, stock, and staffing costs - but are struggling to adapt - it's clear that practical, lean and accessible tech is more important than ever. The SumUp Terminal was built to meet that need, equipping merchants of all sizes with the tools to streamline operations and stay competitive in a rapidly changing environment." Key features and benefits for merchants using the SumUp Terminal include its all-in-one efficiency, allowing businesses to take card payments, manage orders, speed up checkouts, and print receipts or order tickets from a single device. Designed for durability and ease of use, it features an intuitive HD touchscreen and a long-lasting battery that supports staff throughout the entire workday. The Terminal also enables smarter operations by allowing the creation of custom staff profiles with role-based permissions and providing real-time sales reports to support informed business decisions. Irish merchants can simplify their bookkeeping by integrating popular accounting solutions such as Sage Accounting, Xero, and QuickBooks. Dual connectivity with built-in WiFi and free 4G mobile data ensures the device always connects to the strongest available network, keeping payments uninterrupted. To accelerate setup, Terminal uses its built-in camera to instantly digitise an entire product list from a single photo. This AI-driven feature means merchants can capture their handwritten or printed menu, and the device automatically creates an editable digital catalogue. This significantly reduces manual setup time, allowing merchants to then easily add descriptions, images, or new products. "We see countless merchants hit a growth ceiling where a simple card reader is no longer enough, but a traditional POS system feels too expensive and complex," said Tomer Sabag, Chief Hardware Officer at SumUp. "Terminal was built to be that perfect next step. It delivers the core operational power a growing business needs with the speed, ease-of-use, and affordability that are hallmarks of the SumUp ecosystem. It's designed to help our merchants scale in an easy and seamless fashion." SumUp will continue to enhance Terminal with free, automatic software updates. Upcoming features include barcode scanning, table management, and the ability for multiple Terminal devices to sync and operate together in the same venue. As an integral part of the SumUp ecosystem, the Terminal will also connect and sync seamlessly with SumUp POS systems - enabling streamlined, connected operations across devices and services.

Xero has confirmed it's dropping the employee assistance programme, or EAP, it offered free to businesses that use its software. Businesses have a level of responsibilty for physical and mental health at work, and many rely on external EAP providers. But do employers understand their legal responsibilities?
What happens when AI agents promise to transform accounting but create more cognitive burden than productivity gains? Blake and David explore the reality behind the AI agent hype as QuickBooks, Digits, and Big Four firms launch their "digital teammates." They also dig into Xero's massive $2.5 billion acquisition of Melio and what it means for the payments landscape. You'll learn why managing AI agents might be like managing offshore contractors—you wake up to work that's 80% done but everyone has questions. Plus, they discuss how external investors are reshaping the profession, why traditional CPA protections might go the way of car dealership laws, and the ongoing problems with audit quality enforcement despite millions in PCAOB fines.Sponsors Cloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/cas Human at Scale - http://accountingpodcast.promo/humanChapters(00:00) - Introduction and Welcome (00:42) - David's Return and Big News (01:01) - The Acquisition of Emilio by Xero (01:33) - Implications of the Acquisition (04:52) - David's Journey with Bill Pay Solutions (06:42) - Emilio's Unique Features and Market Impact (10:47) - Xero's New Features and Updates (20:56) - QuickBooks AI Agents: A Game Changer?

In this episode of The Bookkeepers' Podcast, Jo Wood and Zoe Whitman offer a candid and insightful conversation about what it really takes to build a six-figure bookkeeping practice. Prompted by a viral video that oversimplified the journey to business success, Jo and Zoe discuss the misconceptions that are often shared online and how these narratives can knock the confidence of hardworking bookkeepers. Drawing on Jo's personal journey of building a six-figure business, the episode breaks down the key components of success: visibility, investment (in time, money, and personal development), mindset, and consistency. Jo shares how she built her practice in public, the practical steps she took to gain clients early on, and how she prioritised growth through team support and marketing. Zoe challenges Jo with frequently asked questions from the community, providing a deep dive into the practical and emotional realities of running a bookkeeping business. They address the pitfalls of comparing your progress to curated success stories online and stress the importance of finding your own version of success. What Listeners Will Learn: - The difference between starting a bookkeeping practice and growing a successful one. - Why being a technical expert matters as much as marketing when building credibility. - The truth behind the "laptop lifestyle" and what it actually looks like day-to-day. - How to build visibility and confidence, especially when starting from scratch. - The mindset shift required to treat your practice as a real business. - What strategic actions helped Jo reach six figures – and how you can adapt them. - Why consistency, self-reflection, and investing in support are critical for long-term growth. ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.

In this hilarious yet insightful episode of The Bookkeepers' Podcast, Jo and Zoe delve into the unexpected – and sometimes downright bizarre – things bookkeepers come across in their line of work. From sticky receipts and nipple tassels to denture moulds and PlayStation expense claims, this episode is packed with jaw-dropping client stories.

They reflect on early days of picking up physical receipts, building trust with clients, and the importance of staying safe—especially for women meeting clients face-to-face. They share practical advice on how bookkeepers can protect themselves, communicate expectations clearly, and onboard clients in a way that prevents awkward (and potentially unsafe) situations. What Listeners Will Learn: - Why setting boundaries is essential for both safety and professionalism. - Real-life stories that highlight the weird and wonderful side of bookkeeping. - How to educate clients on submitting receipts properly. - The value of onboarding processes that include clear documentation guidelines. - How to identify when it's time to walk away from a client who doesn't align with your values. - Why your personal brand helps shape the clients you attract. ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.

After the fanfare of the OpenAI/Jony Ive multibillion-dollar device partnership, io, all references were scrubbed from the internet as if it never happened. After rampant speculation, it was revealed that it was over a claim the whole thing was stolen. From some guy named Jason, no less. Seems like OpenAI is a real drama magnet. We discuss the case, including some screenshots of emails that Sam Altman posted. Additionally, Kiwi accounting software powerhouse Xero is making some moves. We talk about that too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An insightful episode of The Bookkeepers' Podcast, Jo Wood and Zoe Whitman break down the key findings from Xero's 2025 Accounting and Bookkeeping Industry Report. With Jo's experience as a member of the Xero Partner Advisory Council (XPAC), the duo take a deep dive into what the latest data reveals about the future of the industry — from growth and technology adoption to advisory services and evolving client needs. Jo and Zoe explore the report's benchmarks, offering their perspective on where bookkeepers and accountants are thriving and where there's room for improvement. They also reflect on how tech-driven practices are changing the landscape, why some firms are still behind on cloud adoption, and how small practices can turn these trends into opportunities for growth.

Earmark Media Presents a bonus episode of Earmark Podcast: What happens when Congress votes to eliminate the watchdog that's overseen public company audits for two decades? In this episode, Blake Oliver sits down with three leading accounting academics—Maureen McNichols from Stanford, Nemit Shroff from MIT, and Daniel Aobdia from Penn State—to examine the research behind the PCAOB's effectiveness and what elimination could mean for audit quality. You'll discover why companies with clean audit inspections can raise capital more easily, how the infamous "40% deficiency rate" actually works, and why these researchers believe dismantling the PCAOB could undermine trust in U.S. capital markets. The conversation reveals the hidden economics of audit oversight and explains why there hasn't been a major public company fraud since Enron and WorldCom.Chapters(00:00) - Welcome to the Show (01:10) - Meet the Experts (02:59) - Discussion on PCAOB's Elimination (08:17) - Research Insights on PCAOB's Effectiveness (20:11) - Deficiency Rates and Audit Quality (24:50) - Economic Impact of Fraud and PCAOB's Role (25:20) - Regulatory Model of the PCAOB (25:59) - Incentive Structure and Audit Quality (26:59) - Inspection Deficiency Rates (28:54) - Restatement Rates vs. Deficiency Rates (30:23) - Auditor-Client Relationship Tensions (31:42) - Documentation Issues in Audits (35:15) - Effectiveness of PCAOB Inspections (37:49) - Impact of PCAOB on Financial Reporting Quality (40:33) - Potential Elimination of the PCAOB (44:00) - Conclusion and Final Thoughts Sign up to get free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://earmarkcpe.comhttps://earmark.app/Download the Earmark CPE App Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/earmark-cpe/id1562599728Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.earmarkcpe.appConnect with Our Guests:Maureen McNicholshttps://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/faculty/maureen-mcnicholsNemit Shroffhttps://mitsloan.mit.edu/faculty/directory/nemit-shroffDaniel Aobdiahttps://directory.smeal.psu.edu/dza5396Connect with Blake Oliver, CPALinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blaketoliverTwitter: https://twitter.com/blaketoliver/
