Breaking Spreadsheet Boundaries for Next-Gen Finance Analysis with Bobby Pinero
October 31, 2023
Financial analysis is key to making informed decisions and building strategic plans. It empowers organizations to accurately measure their financial health, identify trends, and make informed decisions for growth and profitability. However, traditional financial analysis tools can be time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. This is where modern tools like Equals come into play, which attempts to build a spreadsheet for this era's work. And today, we speak with the company's CEO and Co-Founder, Bobby Pinero. Bobby has a decade of experience as an analyst. His most significant contribution was during his nearly 8-year tenure at Intercom, where he played an essential role in establishing and expanding the Finance, Analytics, and Business Operations departments. When Bobby started at Intercom, the company was under $1M ARR and had a team of around 20 people. By the time he left, the company had grown to approximately $200M ARR and 700 employees. In this episode, we discuss: - How Equals reinvents spreadsheets - The importance of high-level financial modeling - Entrepreneurship and Finance - The power of learning SQL for finance Presented by Personiv https://insights.personiv.com/cfo-weekly
