In September, I was invited to attend an incredible gathering of the top innovators, creators, and all-around smarties to discuss the future of our industry. Â This is important because our world is changing all around us daily. Â We can get on board with it, and embrace it, or we can reject the inevitable. Â
Â
As I journey into the world of automation and integration, it has reinvigorated my love of accounting- yes I said love. Â In accounting there are finite rules. Â You either have a solution, or it's wrong. Â I love to problem solve, and I find that creating automations is the ultimate puzzle to solve. Â I also love to reimagine things. As I speak to developers and learn about how things work, I like to reimagine how one system might work in another, which is why I LOVE Shopify.
Â
Shopify has given people the ability to build a store from the ground up. Because of the incredible Shopify resources out there, I have been able to teach myself how to create custom liquid using HTML. OK, not everyone needs to code. As a matter of fact you don't need to code ANYTHING to use Shopify, but, I can't help myself. I like to move things around in the code, and what's more I can. So why not?Â
Â
I created a Shopify store for my service based Ecommerce accounting business, and merged it with the item-selling functionality of the Shopify widgets. When I spend time around people who are leading the industry, I get inspired to reimagine the usual. Â After Appy Camp, I came back with a zillion ideas about how I wanted to drive my business, the things I wanted to create and do, and the type of clients I wanted to service. Â Now I need to go to another Appy Camp to narrow it down! Â Thank you SO much to Heather Satterly and Liz Scott, the 2 rock stars who host "The Appy Hour" show, who bring so much mentorship to our industry and to all of the amazing sponsors including Intuit.
