B2I

Interesting article (http://ow.ly/O0Ii30lEd54) about how automation can result in a more personal customer experience. Often we think that using technology takes away from the relationships and the old fashioned connection but done right it can supplement.

At Amplify Advisors Inc. we try to implement automation in a practical way that supports us as a start-up. We invest in technology that allows us to focus on our clients. We try and set up our clients with a similar balance so they spend their time on their business without incurring excessive backoffice expenses.

Connection @ the Intersection

Weekend is hours away

A friendly reminder that connection is at the intersection of health and longevity, success and happiness so spend time with those you prioritize and watch your battery recharge for Monday’s success!

Thoughts on Revenue per square foot (the episode not the calculation)

A fun clip from a favourite show – once again pushing a stereotypical version of accounting. True – reports, crunched numbers, analysis- that is all provided by accountants. What if you could get the “Whisperer” of Donna and the report with the numbers?

No one could live up to her character but I think a modern CFO can go beyond what they’ve concluded to farm out in this scene!

To discuss & learn how your #financeleader can do more than numbers & also be a strategic #businessadvisor & #connector be in touch. http://www.amplifyadvisors.ca

Fall: school starts, Amplify launches. It’s go time!

Back from biggest trip of my life.

Haven’t bought shoes, uniforms or a thing for the boys and Tuesday’s start date.

But I did make the big LinkedIn announcement about the new role as a founder of Amplify Advisors Inc. Someone sent a note saying “Congrats on the new job! I guess it’s official now that Linked In has told me 🙂 Please stay in touch! We need to go out for drinks:)”

She was bang on! It now is starting to feel real.
