Talisman

@JStaatsCPA @chikochingaya We're looking forward to impressing you and ending up in a video 😉

@chikochingaya It's the coolest pitch deck in town rn but

Alright... I may have just been sold on burning $200/mo to automate bookkeeping tasks with ChatGPT's new Operator agent Here's why:

@awilkinson At Talisman, we've developed a tool that automatically tracks all recurring expenses within your business accounts. You can set reminders for renewals or trial end dates, and we'll notify you in advance of any upcoming expenses. We'd love to jump on a call with you!

A simple best practice that saves us a fortune: Use virtual cards for all software/recurring billing. Cancel those virtual cards every 2-4 months. Only enter billing info for the stuff you actually use. Before we started doing this, it was astounding how much money we have spent on software that we never even used.

16 tools for accounting firms you may not have on your radar: 1. @gettalisman Track SaaS spend for you (and your clients). Connect the bank accounts via Plaid, get some fancy reports, track spend over time 2. @BlueJLegal Generative AI tax research - think ChatGPT on top a of a tax research product 3. @Countableco Cloud-based workpapers with a trial balance that connects to the ledger 4. @getlaurel An automated timekeeper to track what you're working on throughout the day & simplify time capture 5. @Reconcilely Automatically reconcile Shopify activity back to Xero & QBO 6. @AuditMiner A platform to automate your employee benefit plan audits 7. @goAgentive For auditors, you chuck all your docs into it, and use AI to extract the various bits needed from a pile of unstructured info 8. @middayai An open source app that runs on top of your accounting file offering a more modern interface 9. Cone A YC backed company build a practice management system for accounting firms - getcone dot io 10. @taxfyle Fractional tax & bookkeeping staffing for firms, a network of US-based pros 11. @BlackOreAI An AI tax prep platform, currently just supports 1040 work 12. @Paro_GoBeyond A staff augment service for US firms, also just uses onshore US talent 13. Cost Allocation Pro Cost & payroll allocations, initially designed for complex non-profit repoting - costallocationpro dot com 14. @EmpiraaDotCom Develop visual, interactive client business plans that connect to the ledger. Think custom doc builder with drivers 15. @figured Farm managment software that sits on top of QBO and Xero (and the only one I see exhibiting at accounting conferences) 16. @RCReports An S-Corp reasonable comp tool to generate custom reports for defensible RC calcs. A better alternative to the partner's crystal ball

592 Upvotes on Product Hunt and #2 Product of the Day so far - there's still time to get to #1! 🌟 Vote 📥 producthunt.com/posts/talisman… Talisman Fun Fact #6 ⬇️ Let's be clear - crafting words like Shakespeare or Aristotle isn't our forte. Our team of product managers, developers, and designers, recognized early on the need for a expert to articulate the essence of our product effectively. Last summer we were fortunate to bring Bláthnaid King onto Talisman, an brilliant mind in Product Marketing and UX writing with experiences at companies likes Duolingo and Patreon. Bláthnaid has swiftly become the 'Voice of Talisman,' transforming our jumbled notes into coherent narratives. Her ability to convey our value to customers, not just within our product but across all marketing materials, has been nothing short of transformative.

Vote 📥 producthunt.com/posts/talisman… Talisman Fun Fact #6 ⬇️ A defining moment in our journey was when THE GOAT, aka Samuel Siebler, joined the team to revitalize Talisman’s product and brand design. The essence of Talisman came to life with Sam's arrival.

From day one, we were committed to being a design-first company, prioritizing user experience characterized by beauty. We believe product design is not just a task but an art form and should be treated as such Sam's involved marked a new chapter for Talisman, infusing our product with a fresh, human design style.

Vote 📥 producthunt.com/posts/talisman… Talisman Fun Fact #3 ⬇️ Talisman took a pivotal turn when Mike and Chiko crystallized their vision for the company. Knowing the path ahead required a technical maestro, they turned to Reddit (where the most powerful minds in computer engineering live) where they found Dan Fearing in the r/cofounder subReddit. Having worked at companies like Blizzard and founded various startups in the past. Dan's expertise was the missing piece, leading him to architect the ENTIRE Talisman product as we know it today. We couldn’t have done it without our Chief Technology Overlord. And major shoutout to @Reddit! Don't forget to show your support by voting for us on Product Hunt through the link provided.
