Course Description

Join us for a conversation with Michael Ly, CEO of Reconciled -- an online bookkeeping service specializing in QuickBooks Online and other cloud-based accounting tools. Reconciled is a virtual company with a national footprint that operates at the intersection of the accounting professional and tech industry.

In response to the calls for racial justice in 2020, there was increasing pressure on corporate America to acknowledge the lack of diversity and address inequity concerns while focusing on meaningful inclusion. As businesses responded to those calls, many of the resulting recommendations leaned toward the structure, budget, and big business systems. This left some small and medium-sized business owners and executives wondering how to identify then address DEI issues for their company.

Michael jumped right in and wasn’t afraid to ask for input from his team and broader professional network. He saw challenges and opportunities and is joining us to share his ideas, lessons learned, and takeaways from those efforts. We hope you join the conversation!

Learning Objectives:


  • Recognize how DEI impacts small to medium-sized business

  • List D&I strategies for small to medium-sized business

  • Identify ideas for rolling out of D&I programs for small to medium-sized business
