Today we’re talking about capital allocation, and how it’s one of the most powerful, yet least discussed, skills a CEO needs to learn.

Every CEO has three core jobs:

* Run a good company (Operations)

* Tell a good story (Investor Relations)

* Deploy capital effectively (Capital Allocation)

Most CEOs focus 80% of their time on the first two. Yet it's the third, capital allocation, that often has the highest leverage and the least guidance.

We’ve all used legacy ERPs. Painful migrations, endless consulting fees, and even after you’re live, getting simple answers still means hours in spreadsheets.

Campfire fixes that. It’s the AI-first ERP built for modern finance and accounting teams. It's helping mid-market and enterprise teams close faster, unlock insights instantly, and scale smarter - without the additional headcount.I use Campfire myself, and it’s been a game changer for our finance workflow. The interface is intuitive, migration was quick & painless, and it's freed us up to focus on strategic work.They just raised $35 million from Accel to further reimagine ERP. That's not easy to do.

I’m excited to see how they keep reimagining this space – and you should be too.
