Opinion
Founders find standard financial statements and QuickBooks completely useless
“Most founders would look at a financial statement or your QuickBooks and find it completely useless, right? It's very difficult to get insight from it. What you as a founder or CEO would think about is where did my money go in what categories?”

Opinion
Hastings: Gen AI cannot vibe code robust accounting software like QuickBooks
