The Role Forward: A Strategic Finance Podcast The ERP Gap: Nixsheets CEO, Sal Abdulla
In this era where there’s a better SaaS tool for every workflow, ERP solutions are ripe for innovation.
Many finance and accounting teams leverage a distributed EPR model that they’ve cobbled together using various point solutions coupled with spreadsheets to fill additional gaps between the systems. What they’re often lacking is a solution that ties all of these accounting workflows together.
One solution for this is Nixsheets, a workflow and automation platform for accounting teams that have outgrown ERPs like QuickBooks but don’t want the headache that comes with a more enterprise-focused system like NetSuite. This platform promises to reduce data integrity issues, support a super-fast month-end close, reduce manual work, and lower costs.
In this episode of The Role Forward, Joe Michalowski welcomes Sal Abdulla, the founder and CEO of Nixsheets. Joe and Sal get into the transformation of the finance industry and the ongoing challenges for accounting teams. They talk about common ERP limitations, how accounting workflows should be simplified, and new finance and accounting tools.
