You don’t need more info. You need to act. The gap between knowing and doing is where potential dies.

The comfortable middle is over for software. Growth has stalled but true profitability still hasn't arrived — most of the sector is stuck: too slow for a premium growth multiple, too diluted for a fortress multiple. a16z's David George says CEOs have 12-18 months to pick exactly one of two paths: a16z.news/p/there-are-on…

SaaS CEOs, if your CFO hasn’t used Claude for Excel by now, you need a new CFO. Only the curious will survive.

82% of businesses disappear for the same reason. Cash flow. I’ve seen companies with strong revenue go bankrupt because they couldn’t see their cash 3-4 weeks ahead. That’s why I created the 13-Week Cashflow Playbook. Just like + reply “13” and I’ll DM you. (must follow)

@ConnorAbene CAC. Keep up the great posts Connor

I’ve built 25+ finance tools. But this one might be the most important for founders trying to scale. The LTV:CAC calculator. It shows you: • What a customer really costs • What they’re actually worth • Whether growth is working Want it? Like + comment “CAC” and I’ll send it.

How early should you send board materials before a meeting? Paul Stansik breaks down the real tradeoff between giving investors time to review and letting your numbers go stale. From fast-moving pipeline changes to enterprise sales cycles, timing your board deck is more strategic than most founders realize.

@jasononfirms Hi. Interested Denver. Keep up the great insights!

Announcing my 2026 tour! 20 US cities, happening in May & June Plus how to get access to a discounted pre-sale 🎟️ Last fall we ran accounting events in 14 US cities and over 1,000 firms showed up. It was a $500k bet that was a success in every way if you don't count money. So we're setting another $1M on fire in the name of hosting a fun event for accounting firms in 20 cities. These events are a half-day It's some live programming from me You'll meet 80-200ish cool local firms There's a really nice dinner with rad accountants It's the only event I've seen with an open bar during a CPE-eligible session Last year's vibes were immaculate. It is wild to pull that many local accountants into a room who are so like-minded. 🎟️ Tickets will go on sale in 2 weeks, but if you leave a reply below I'll DM you as soon as our discounted pre-sale opens. Just let me know what city you'll attend, and you'll get added to a list And if you made it out to a workshop last year, do me a favor and let folks know what they're missing if they don't attend! It meant the absolute world to me how many you showed up last year. It's probably the thing we've done I'm most proud of.

360 years. That is the collective Excel experience of my team of 30 people, in one room. I have personally used Excel for 20 years. Since the very beginning. We’ve spent decades "crushing it" when it comes to financial modeling. We knew every shortcut. Every nested formula. We thought we had reached the peak of efficiency. (They are better then me, just to admit) But I have something to tell you. The game just changed. In my opinion, we are witnessing the biggest innovation since Excel was first released. It’s not a new function or a Power BI update. It’s Claude. Specifically, Claude’s ability to build and manipulate Excel models. For 40 years, the "manual labor" was the tax we paid. Hardcoding formulas. Spending hours formatting cells. Manually linking sheets and building tables from scratch. That era is over. Claude can now handle the heavy lifting of building the structure, the logic, and the formatting in minutes. But here is the part that really surprised me: It actually understands accounting. It understands the relationship between a Balance Sheet and a Cash Flow statement. It understands how operating drivers flow into a P&L. We aren't replacing our expertise. We are finally liberating it. Instead of spending 80% of our time building the model, we spend 100% of our time analyzing the results. If you want this Prompt and Excel model, just drop a comment and I’ll send it to you. (Important: follow me so I can DM you!)

For every founder sleeping well at night, there’s an accountant who made sure they could. They’re not the loudest voice in the room. They don’t post big announcements or talk about “wins.” But they’re the reason everything keeps moving. They turn confusion into clarity. They turn numbers into decisions. They spot problems before anyone else sees them coming. Finance isn’t glamorous work. It’s the steady hand that keeps chaos from spreading. And behind every business that runs smoothly, there’s someone keeping the story straight, reconciling, reviewing, and protecting the foundation that growth depends on. They rarely get the credit. But they always make the difference.

@alexgroberman "LinkedIn Growth Guide"

I created my LinkedIn 45 weeks ago. Since then I’ve added $80,000 to my agency pipeline, driven crazy revenue for SEO Stuff, built ~8,000 connections, logged 2.13M impressions, and reached 100s of thousands more across my feed. Steal my system before they close the loopholes. Before we get into it, though... If you want the **full** cheat sheet, including engagement group templates, carousel playbooks, DM strategies, etc. just follow me + RT this + comment "LinkedIn Growth Guide" and I'll DM you. You must do all 3 for the DM. Alright, here's what's working best on LinkedIn as of this week: Expert signals & relevance matter more than ever LinkedIn is placing greater weight on authority and topical consistency. If your posts regularly tie back to a niche or domain, the algorithm sees you as a subject-matter voice and boosts your content. Native content is still performing better than stuff with links. Posts that stay on LinkedIn (text, carousels, native video) outperform those that immediately point outward. If you do share external links, drop them in comments or context blocks, not the main post. And if you insist on putting them in the main post, add an image. Early engagement is critical. Posts that rack up comments quickly, and keep people reading (longer dwell time), are more likely to be surfaced further. The “golden hour” still plays a huge role. Conversation threads are rewarded LinkedIn is increasingly favoring posts that generate layered discussions, basically replies to replies, back-and-forth in the comments. Posts that spark debate or interaction among commenters stay alive longer. Engaging with others’ content before you post (liking, commenting), and then engaging after you post, helps performance. Also, avoid editing your posts early on. Also, remember older content that’s still relevant can get revived. LinkedIn’s algorithm now surfaces posts weeks old if they match a reader’s interests. So your content’s shelf life is longer than before. My posting system: I post 3 times per day, 7 days a week. Skipping more than 36–48 hours hits my numbers hard. (Check my stats from 2 weeks ago to see what happens when I travel if you want to see how bad the numbers can get.) My routine: Morning: Strong POV or proof-driven post Afternoon: Carousel, annotated screenshot or case study Evening: Mini-thread, question-based post, or lesson share Formats working well at the moment: Carousels: Bold headline then 3–5 slides of steps, visuals, annotated context then CTA Short native video: Hook fast, subtitles, walk-through or behind-the-scenes Text / micro-threads Clear hook, short lines, 3–5 bullet takeaways, question at end Proof + breakdown posts: Show a result, break it into actionable steps Conversation-led posts: Open loops, provocative POVs, questions that invite replies My engagement strategy: Comment on 20+ posts/day with real insight, stories, or examples Like 50+ posts/day, prioritizing those in your niche or adjacent Reply to every comment in the first hour Repost your top posts every 5–7 days with a fresh intro or angle DM 5–10 people/day with context from their posts, but remember value-first Because LinkedIn is increasingly rewarding repeat engagement (same people commenting across posts) and comment thread depth, nurturing relationships in your comments section is now as important as posting itself. Hooks & angles converting now: “I started this account 45 weeks ago. Here’s what $80K in pipeline really looks like.” “This 7-slide carousel booked 3 high-value meetings in 48 hours. Slide 1 below.” “If I had to rebuild LinkedIn in 2025 from scratch, here’s the playbook I’d use.” “The daily system I use to drive consistent inbound from LinkedIn.” “$X in revenue last month from LinkedIn alone, here’s how.” Always back your claims with proof, screenshots, analytics, sales outcomes, or it loses credibility. 30-Day LinkedIn Growth Playbook: Post 3x/day (1 format must prove a result or show a metric) Comment on 20+ posts/day with substance Like 50+ posts/day Reply to all comments quickly Repost your top posts weekly DM 5–10 people/day with value from their content Track metrics: comment depth, replies, new leads, repeat commenters Test hooks, formats, posting times constantly LinkedIn remains one of the most underpriced engines for professional growth and B2B reach. Run this for 30 days, screenshot Day 31, tag me when inbound starts. And if you want the full cheat sheet, including engagement group templates, carousel playbooks, DM strategies, just follow me + RT this + comment "LinkedIn Growth Guide" and I'll DM you. You must do all 3 for the DM.

@BojanRadojici10 Look amazing. Please share

I just built this full FP&A Board Presentation using AI — and the results were amazing. Using GenSpark, I simply uploaded my data and gave it a clear prompt. With the help of a good editor, the AI transformed it into a professional, ready-to-present PowerPoint deck — complete with: ✅ KPI Dashboard (Performance vs LY & Budget) ✅ 3-Year Financial Forecast (2026–2028) ✅ Profit & Loss Statement ✅ Key Insights & Board Recommendations It saved hours of manual work and gave me a clean, structured presentation in minutes. 💡 The best part? The full PPTX file is available for FREE download. Just drop a comment and I’ll send it to you. (Important: follow me so I can DM you!)
