Jody Grunden CPA
Partner, Anders CPAs + Advisors
Jody Grunden is an accounting visionary with over 20 years of experience. He has helped pioneer innovative changes within the industry, including the introduction of the first subscription-based billing method employed by an accounting firm.
He is the author of two books, _Digital Dollars and Cents_ [https://www.amazon.com/Digital... [https://www.amazon.com/Digital...]] and _Building the Virtual CFO Firm in the Cloud_ [https://cpatrendlines.com/shop... [https://cpatrendlines.com/shop...]].
Together with his partner Adam Hale, Jody co-founded Summit CPA Group (Summit) in 2002, which merged with Anders CPAs + Advisors (Anders) in 2022. Summit, now a division of Anders, was the first fully distributed firm and the leading provider of Virtual CFO Services in North America. With this merger, Summit brings to Anders a number of benefits which will help continue Jody's vision of changing the way people think about accounting, including strengthening the now "hybrid" work environment, building out the advisory side of Anders with a Virtual CFO service model, and implementing weekly subscription billing rather than hourly billing.
His specialties include Virtual CFO Services, Creative Agencies, and Remote Team Management. Jody is part of many professional organizations including: American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Indiana CPA Society, CPA.com CAS Client Advisory Council, Forbes Finance Council, Bill.com Accountant Partner Council, Divvy Task Force, Society of Digital Agencies (SoDA), Pinnacle Business Guides Partner, and Member of Running Remote.
Jody has also been recognized for his expertise through being awarded as a 2017 Indiana CPA Society Innovation Award winner, CPA.com's 2017 Innovative Practitioner of the Year finalist, and CPA.com's 2020 Top Innovative Practitioner [https://www.cpa.com/innovative...
