Trailblazer Brains on Fire: Interview on Trashing Timesheets

Posted by accountingweb on 1600 printer friendly
On May 22, I-along with my father-had the pleasure of visiting Trailblazer Brains on Fire [1] in Greenville, South Carolina.

This is an amazing agency, which as of January 1st of this year trashed [2] its timesheets. This initiative was pushed through by Kathie Conway [3], Keeper of the Cash, and Brandy Amidon [4], Princess of Particulars.

They were able to achieve this after reading the Journal of Accountancy Firm of the Future article [5] from November, 2008, along with The Firm of the Future book.

Very few firms that we know of have been able to accomplish this feat without at least attending a seminar, or hiring consulting help.

After a great lunch, we sat down for an interview on trashing timesheeets. Some of the questions came from people who follow @BrainsOnFire on Twitter, and some were from Cathy and Brandy.

You can listen to the two-part interview [6] on the Brains on Fire blog [7].

Thank you Cathy, Brandy, and the rest of the team at Brains on Fire—you are true pioneers and it was an honor to meet you. I'm only sorry I didn't get to meet Mud [8].
