Building Financial Cents - The PM For Accountants
Not all accounting journeys are the same, but most are similar.
Today’s guest has done it all differently – and his rare, entrepreneurial drive is something you seldom see in an industry so focused on conformity. Shahram Zarshenas is the CEO of Financial Cents, an accounting practice management software – a company and idea that started when Shahram was just in college.
Together, Yuri and Shahram discuss his software and what makes it unique, as well as their respective POVs as software-maker and software-consumer. They also cover how it was built and what made Shahram confident enough to make the jump, social media use and disconnecting from it all, and more!
