Last week I spoke with Byron Reese, the host of Gigaom’s “Voices in AI” podcast. We chatted about everything from what the “artificial” in AI really means to the importance of what’s in front of the curtain rather than what’s behind the curtain, and how AI can be used to solve real-world problems by focusing less on advanced technologies and more on what we can do with that technology.

ExpensiCon has always been a unique conference experience, but attendees were in for a treat as they descended on the islands of Bora Bora. In addition to the lifelong memories being made, our curated list of guest speakers and roundtable discussions provided everyone with new outlooks and learnings — and that was before attendees had the chance to exchange their own tips and tricks! Though ExpensiCon ended last week, take a walk down memory lane with us as we fondly look back on the top 8 trends and takeaways from this once-in-a-lifetime partner retreat.

1. Preaccounting is front and center for the accounting industry — you just didn’t realize it yet

Attendees took advantage of the wealth of knowledge amongst each other to trade tips and tricks on best practices to bring back to their firm and clients. What emerged through conversation was honing in on how accountants can take advantage of technology to help their clients get their portion of the paperwork done. Continue Reading…

[Newsletter] 10 Years of Expense Reports that Don’t Suck

David Barrett —  January 10, 2018 — 2 Comments

Can you believe that Expensify turns 10 this year?  I’m 42, so that’s nearly a quarter of my life devoted to the dark arts of expense management, and it has gone by so fast.  It feels like just yesterday we launched our app for the iPhone (which also just turned 10), making us the first cloud-hosted, receipt-scanning expense management app, ever, for any phone.  Since then, we’ve added more customers than the next four competitors *combined* — doubling our customer count this year alone.  Continue Reading…
