#AICPAENGAGE selfies

One benefit of being active and well-connected on social media is that people know who you are, despite spending little or no time with them in real life. Still, good professional relationships can grow when you share good content and help other people. A really fun thing happened at this year’s AICPA Engage conference – several people said, “I know who you are… can I take a selfie?”  It’s a great feeling to be treated like a celebrity for a brief moment, even though I know I am not. It’s kind of like the feeling I get when my six year-old, when asked what he wants to be when he grows up, responds that he wants to be a dad. It’s a fist pump moment. Here I am with Hubdoc, which fetches all my financial documents in one place, and makes my accounting so much more organized and easier: Allison Ball from Intuit said hi!  She’s a fun person to follow on Twitter, even if you’re not an accountant. Some friends at Receipt Bank asked for a selfie when I stopped by. The monster-sized phone for demonstrating their app is so clever! I saved the best for last: Here I am with the awesome time tracking software Tsheets after I won their drawing for an Apple Watch!  Thanks a ton Tsheets!
