Ep. 78: Speaking Truthi with Dan Luthi, It’s About Time, and a Ramp Stack App Snack!

Welcome back to UnAccountable! It’s episode 78, and we are talking about automations, the unmatched Utahn culture, and ch-ch-ch-changes. Your hosts, as always, are: Tyler “Main Stage Manager” Otto from Specialized Accounting [https://www.specializedat.com/], focusing on medium to large businesses in the glamorous hospitality, marina, and service industries. Jeremy "Prime Time Presenter” Van Groll from Nonprofit Bookkeeping [https://www.nonprofitbookkeeping.com/], a champion for nonprofits with his accounting expertise. Utahns unite! Dan Luthi, Partner at Ignite Spot Accounting [https://www.ignitespot.com/blog/author/dan-luthi]. He is a bona fide expert at improving accounting, reporting, and technology systems. In Da News, we are discussing Karbon’s State of AI in Accounting report [https://a.storyblok.com/f/321253/x/e2116b7c8a/the-state-of-ai-in-accounting-report-2026-by-karbon.pdf]. Some surprising tidbits in there! In Fast Figures, Dan is in the hot seat with trivia questions with numerical answers. On AppSnack, we are inclined to talk about Ramp [https://ramp.com/], a corporate card and finance automation platform designed to help businesses control spending, eliminate expense reports, and streamline their accounting.  Finally, It’s About Time, where Tyler quizzes Jeremy on time management systems. Loser of the Week: Hub Group [https://www.cfodive.com/news/hub-group-cfo-coo-depart-77m-accounting-error/821531/] Winner of the Week: Oath [https://www.wsj.com/cfo-journal/former-audit-regulator-helps-set-up-accounting-firm-targeting-80-automation-ea617495] 📣 What if the time-consuming parts of accounting just... handled themselves? That's the idea behind Stack by Ramp: an AI-native platform that lets you deploy agents to do the repetitive work. Reconciliations, journal entries, flux analysis. Your processes, your rules, your clients. You decide where it runs on its own and where it stops for your review. They've got the data to prove it. Ramp evaluated Stack against 200+ real accounting tasks, built and graded by working accountants — and it outpaces the general-purpose models.
