Episode 21: Accounting - You Can't Afford To Get This Wrong!
Accounting and Communication go hand in hand. If your accounting isn't buttoned up, you will spend more time communicating and create a higher probability of owner turnover. In this episode, we interview Curren Melgarejo, our Director of Finance. We'll discuss what accounting looked like at 300 properties in one market and what it looks like now that we're managing over 3,500 properties across the country.

Episode 19: Your Most Important Meeting
One-to-one meetings with your team should be non-negotiable. It's the most important meeting you will have each month. In fact, Andy Grove, Former CEO and co-founder of Intel, wrote in his book High Output Management that "Ninety minutes of your time can enhance the quality of your subordinate's work for two weeks, or for some eighty-plus hours." In this episode, we'll unpack exactly how we run our one-to-one meetings to make the best use of that time. ----------------- Connect with Matt and Spencer at Evernest: Evernest.co Visit the Podcast Website: 300to3000.com Email the Show: podcast@evernest.co ----------------- Production House: Flint Stone Media Copyright of Evernest 2021.
