Monday, January 19, 2026

Hey, !

Welcome back to AI Accounting Daily.

The spreadsheet was 47 tabs. We killed it.

The spreadsheet was 47 tabs. We killed it.

We had this master tracking spreadsheet. 47 tabs. Color-coded nightmares. Every Monday, someone would update the wrong row. Every month-end, a formula would break and three people would argue about whose fault it was.


We all hated it. We all needed it.

That's not operations. That's shared trauma.


Moved everything to Process Street. Tasks route automatically. Approvals happen inline.

No more hunting for who did what.


The spreadsheet is gone. The Monday fights are gone.


Try Process Street. Let something die.
