Presenter: Julie Smith

Topic: Defrag Your Firm: The Hidden Profit Drain of a Fragmented Tech Stack
97% of CPA firms admit they’re inefficient with technology—but most underestimate the true cost. A fragmented tech stack doesn’t just create frustration; it quietly drains profitability, stifles growth, and accelerates burnout. In this session, you’ll learn how to uncover the hidden costs of inefficiency, quantify its impact on your bottom line, and apply a framework to simplify and unify your firm’s operations. You’ll leave with a roadmap for turning your technology from a daily liability into your firm’s most valuable growth engine. Learning objectives:
After this session, attendee should learn to:
- Identify the hidden costs of a fragmented tech stack, including wasted staff hours, revenue leakage, and client churn.
- Apply strategies to simplify, consolidate, and unify firm operations through smarter technology choices.
- Envision how a defragmented firm can free capacity, reduce burnout, and position itself for scalable growth.
