If your firm still juggles spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected tools when closing the books, this session is for you. Join Keeper CEO Ben Stein for an insightful, approachable session on how today’s scalable accounting practices are built—not by adding work, but by removing friction.
Ben will share how modern firms streamline everything from client onboarding and recurring tasks to document management and the month-end close. 

You’ll hear practical strategies—from using advanced workflow tools like Keeper to designing clear SOPs—that free you from needless tab switching and chaos. You'll also learn why deploying AI in your firm shouldn’t mean that it does everything, but instead focuses on doing specific tasks flawlessly. We’ll explore how integrating tools that centralize bank feeds, journal entries, receipt tracking, client communications, and more into one seamless process keeps your team efficient and your clients happy. Whether you’re a small firm looking to reclaim bandwidth or a larger practice planning sustainable growth, this session delivers a tangible roadmap to scaling smarter, not harder.
