Joining me today is Andrey Kustarnikov, the CEO, Founder and visionary behind G-Accon. Andrey and G-Accon have been a strategic partner for many years, and they flew into Atlanta to meet me, and we spent several days together. Andret and his wife and co-founder Maria very kindly took me on a tour of Atlanta, in their Tesla - how lucky am I!!   Let me tell you about G-Accon. G-Accon is an effective tool that connects Xero, QuickBooks, Freshbooks, Sage and Work Flow Max to Google Sheets. Andrey brings over 20 years of experience in software development, microservices architecture, and cloud integration, focusing on the banking and financial sectors. His educational background includes an MBA and a Masters in Physics, which have been instrumental in building G-Accon. This software has been quite useful to its users and Andrey is interested to see what comes next for G-Accon.   Highlights of the conversation included: 🔍 GAcon integrates cloud accounting platforms with Google Spreadsheets.   ❓ What are the features and functionalities that people like about G-Accon?   🎮 Memories of playing Tetris in Moscow, Russia.   💼 What is the brand identity of GAccon and how do customers connect with the solution?   💡 Encouraging innovation within the organisation.   🌍 Global expansion plans and lessons learned from expanding into new markets.   💻 Working with G Suite/Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel: Once you've developed something in Google Sheets, you can convert it to Excel.   🏢 The World of Coca-Cola museum and Coca-Cola as a business.   💰 The importance of the bookkeeper in the business.   🔍 John Pembroke invented Coca-Cola, and his partner and bookkeeper, Frank M.
