Almost three years ago I started dabbling with cloud accounting and applications. Iâm a visionary person. Straight away I could see the benefit of why the cloud movement was necessary. But like many of you I struggled with how do I do this?
Thatâs when I decided to take a deep dive, face first into this movement and document my findings. I am not an expert. Iâm the gal that loves tech. Some gals like shoes and handbagsâŚ.I love apps.
I am hungry to find apps thatâŚ
solved pain points for my workflows
work with my clients & virtual team
donât cause me grief in the learning process
that are worth the investment of time and cost
Sound familar? So the hastag #JennieApprovedApps was borne from the idea of collaborate accoutning pros asking me continuously âwhat apps should I use?â
After hearing this question more and more it became apparent that a transparent individual needs to look at apps and review them. What do I mean by Transparent. Simply said â We arenât paid! You canât buy our approval. You need to earn it.
Naturally weâve had some rubbing from our industry asking âwhatâs the point?â or âWhatâs in it for you?â. Here is the simple one word answer: RELATIONSHIPS
We build relationships with our apps partners to make change for the indsutry as a whole. How does this work? Hereâs an example weâll text the CEO in the morning to make a suggested change. Theyâll code it and have it ready by 10 pm that night. Thatâs what I mean by relationships. Its an apps marriage!
But whatâs in it for me?
We are looked upon as a leader, a Trusted Advisor, a mentor, [insert any other glourious title here of your choosing]. Or my personal favourite Canadaâs #QBFirmOfTheFuture Finalist. A title awarded to the top forward thinking accounting practice, by Intuit, that has embraced change in our industry.

By doing such we forgo the the commissions, kickbacks, and referall income. To be honest it would be such a time suck to keep track of that small amount of revenue. Instead I gain business: big fish clients, consulting gigs, mentorships. Thatâs where the real cheddar is. I donât want a crumble of cheese from a paltry referal income, I want the whole damn brick of cheese.
I encourage you to check out the #JennieApprovedApps Page HERE and sign up for our blog to keep informed of new apps that hit the market. We totally respect your time and inbox. So rest assured you wonât be bombarded with silly stuff, promos and other jazz. Just the good stuff. Think of it as your personal Insider Report on apps.
If you are an app developer and want us to check out your app first know this. Iâm independant. You will get the big the bad and the ugly. I wonât be your friend off the bat. My job is to try to break your application. Iâll haunt you with feed back. And yes I expect it to be taken seriously. Because we donât charge for this review you are expected to respect our limited amount of time. If you are serious and up for the challenge? Hereâs the link to get started. Then once you become a #JennieApprovedApp I assure you the apps marriage is well worth it!
