In this episode of FinFactor, Blaine Bertsch sits down with Ben Taylor, CEO of SoftLedger, to explore one of the biggest challenges facing finance leaders today—multi-entity accounting. As businesses scale and expand across multiple subsidiaries, divisions, or global operations, outdated accounting systems and manual spreadsheets can’t keep up. The result? Errors in consolidated reporting, inefficiencies in intercompany transactions, and missed opportunities in financial planning and cash flow management.
Ben shares how modern cloud accounting platforms, SaaS accounting solutions, and ERP systems are transforming the way finance teams handle complex structures. The discussion covers how finance leaders can streamline consolidation, automate intercompany eliminations, and leverage budgeting and forecasting software to support smarter, faster decision-making. They also dive into emerging trends in cloud finance technology, best practices for adopting new systems, and how CFOs can future-proof their organizations for growth.
With real-world insights and practical advice, this episode gives CFOs, controllers, and finance professionals the tools to boost efficiency, ensure accuracy, and gain the agility needed to thrive in an increasingly complex business environment.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
