Hey there 👋,
Welcome to Field Notes! An industry view of what's actually happening on the ground in accounting — what's working, what's broken, and what's next.
It's a mix of deep insights from Gaapsavvy shareforums, tools practitioners are actually using, and themes we'll unpack together over time.
Some issues dive deep on a single topic. Others sweep across industry trends. Either way, I'm giving it to you straight—the good, the challenging, and the 'nobody talks about this but everyone struggles with it.'
I founded Gaapsavvy to create 'open source accounting'—where professionals share learnings the way developers collaborate on code, building something better together.
With AI transforming our field faster than ever, learning in community is essential. My goals are simple:
Make interpretations more consistent
Align system requirements across companies
Create a space to upskill and grow together
