Welcome to Gaapsavvy Newsletter - Field Notes!
Practical accounting wisdom straight from the field
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.'
Who It's For
You're likely:
An industry accountant tired of ivory tower guidance followed by an expensive "it depends"
Someone exploring AI without time for another vague "future of finance" webinar
Craving real examples and judgment calls from people who've lived it
Why This Matters
These conversations are too valuable to keep contained. The collective wisdom that emerges when practitioners speak candidly deserves wider sharing—not because I have all the answers, but because we all benefit from real-world perspectives.
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
For years, my shareforums have gathered insights you couldn't buy with consulting dollars. This newsletter brings that knowledge to everyone without losing the nuance (or the honesty).
📬 First full issue coming soon — covering usage-based revenue in depth.
