Okay, software is a thing

Ask and ye shall receive I guess!

I got a ton of great responses from my questions about software yesterday!

A few of the platforms discussed:

  • All-in-one Ops software

  • Expense management

  • Accounting software

  • Collaboration tools

  • Point-of-sale

  • Payments

  • CRMs

My biggest takeaway?

The feedback was a mix of two things:

  1. Gratitude for great software that solves problems, gets things done, and delivers value worth every penny.

  2. Frustration with tools that:

    • Don’t work as advertised.

    • Miss common use cases.

    • Are so complicated to set up you can’t even tell if they’re useful yet.

    • Lack integration with other essential tools (or force you to use software you despise).

    • Simply aren’t worth the price tag—leading people to DIY solutions instead.

I think this area might be worth exploring more...

More to come after the holidays!

---

I'm signing off from The Daily CFO tonight for a holiday break.

Though I may log in to share an idea or two,

We'll get back to our regularly scheduled email in the new year.

​

Want to catch me one more time before the holidays?

Join me tomorrow, Thursday, 12/18, for an event with Founder's Common, who have invited me to talk about becoming your own CFO.​

If you’re a longtime reader, it’ll be familiar content—stuff you’ve probably already seen here, but discussed out loud with a live Q&A.

If you’re newer to the list, it’s the perfect crash course!

(I think there are still plenty of tickets for non-Founders Common members. If you try to get a spot and it's sold out, let me know)

​

See you Thursday, or after the holidays!

Be well and I'll see you in the new year!
