Holy F... S...
#XeroCon Nashville was amazing!
Why?
Here's my (not complete at all) list:
Twenty Eighty was nominated for two awards. The People's Choice Award, and the Advisory Innovator of the Year Award. These nominations had us jacked as we have put so much time and effort into our client experience, and how we advise. 👊👊👊
As a team, we were fortunate enough to take home the Advisory Innovator of the Year Award against a very, very amazing field! We're just getting started, but this really hits home that our approach and style is different. 🎉🎉🎉
Personally I re-connected with a boat load of people in the community. Big shout outs to:
Jordan Vickery - for our candid chats on the state of the union, gut checks on goals for each day and for a few 🍻. Let's get something going on how things differ!
Liam Guy - for taking care of your peeps with some fun events, introducing me to a raft of new Xero's and taking the time to chat on where Twenty Eighty is going. I'm excited for what we can do together!
Dustin and Sam for the good laughs, many great conversations... and the amazing Mexican food the other day.
🐠 Rachel Fisch, CPB - for having some good personal chats and some around what Dext can do these days (and thanks to Max for an eye opener of a demo)
Sabby - for chatting me up on roadmap and a complete tangent on psychology. It was fun! (congrats to you, Rachel and the rest of the Dext team for your win!)
Shayne - for the good convo on leadership and team progression... I think you unfurled a lot more for me than you know! 🙌 (and congrats on MNP's success!)
Twyla - for walking through Mercury with me and catching up in general, if you didn't know this is one amazing app with an amazing leader (for 🇺🇸 only though... sorry fellow 🇨🇦's)
Kenji - for giving me a hug when I first got into town even though I was pretty rank. 🤣 We still need to catch up.
Graeme and Alexis for some awesome chats on the emotional and relationship side of advisory. These two gents have some seriously wicked (in a good way) ideas in them!
Colin and Eric for letting me pick your brains on workflows, systems and how you guys have pieced together an amazing team. Zenbooks is a force!
Pankaj for a great chat about kids, parenting and how you're building an amazing cross functional operation. Congrats to you, Atin and the amazing Countable.co team for your app win!
I know there are so many more I missed! (Wayne, Jaime, Christina, Carey, Kerry to name a few)
Within all of that mayhem I got to see some people I know and love take home some hardware:
Mike, Lior and the ConnectCPA LLP team (#dominate) - for 🇨🇦 Accounting Partner of the Year
Joe and the Avalon Accounting team - for 🇨🇦 Bookkeeping Partner of the Year
Shayne and the MNP team - for 🇨🇦 National Partner of the Year
Kenji, Matthew and the Acuity Accounting team - for 🇺🇸 Community Champion
Geoffrey, Jamie and the A2X team - for 🇨🇦 Practice App of the Year
Phew... I'm tired!
