S3 Ep9 - Tech Stacks for Accounting and Bookkeeping Firms with Amy Holdsworth

Our guest this week is Amy Holdsworth, who is the founder of Clarity Street to talk all things Tech Stacks for Accounting and Bookkeeping Firms.

Amy started Clarity Street over six years ago after having the realisation that none of the individual software providers in the ecosystem had the time or the knowledge of how all of the cloud apps should be set up, to provide an efficient client lifecycle with clean dataflows between apps. 

Clarity Street is on a mission to help the industry understand how and what software connects to each other and what mindset, processes and procedures need to be changed, to achieve success.
