Topics covered included: • Company Operating System with Dave Dutch from Red Oak Compliance Solutions and Jaclyn Rozkin from Roster • Software Market and Valuations with Jon Steele, Conrad Reusch and Najeeb Ahmed from Raymond James • Financial Reporting and Budgeting Best Practices with Katie Stiles from Instinct Science and Tate Cook and Sunny Prasla, CPA from Mainsail • AI Coding with Mainsail’s Erin Sedloff • Roundtable Discussions on Budgeting Challenges and Operational Issues It was an outstanding experience sharing best practices, exchanging ideas, networking and enjoying a competitive pickleball tournament. Thank you to everyone who joined and to our guest speakers for their insightful and engaging presentations. Thank you to our Mainsail team, William Salisbury, Heather Booms, Immad Baig, Tate Cook, Keely Hopkins, Julie Lazzeroni, Sunny Prasla, CPA, Erin Sedloff and Jemma Sellem for organizing another great summit!
