XcelLabs Launches To Transform Accounting
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The future of accounting will be built by AI-literate professionals who know how to think better, advise smarter and elevate their firms. That's the driving force behind XcelLabs, a new platform launched by Jody Padar, the Radical CPA, and Katie Tolin, a growth strategist, who are both known for reshaping accounting from their unique perspectives. The Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs (PICPA) and CPA Crossings, LLC, are partnering with Padar and Tolin to power the launch as strategic partners and investors. 'To reinvent the profession, we must start by training the professional who can then transform their firms,' said Padar, an accounting influencer and author of three books that advocate for radicalizing practice management. 'By equipping people with data and insights that help them see things differently, they can provide better advice to their clients and firm.' XcelLabs is a training and technology platform that offers solutions to help accountants use AI to build fluency and strategic thinking. This is done through: - XcelLabs Academy – A series of online courses that will provide hands-on education on topics related to the basics of AI, being a better advisor, leadership and practice management. - Navi - Proprietary and patent-pending technology that uses AI to help accountants turn unstructured data from emails, phone calls and meetings into insights, while adjusting to the unique emotions and needs of each user. - Training and Consulting – Training teams at larger firms to think AI-first and use Navi, coupled with ongoing coaching to improve conversations and advice received, as well as advisory actions to be taken. These solutions, currently in beta testing, will help professionals become exceptional at what they do and be proud of how they do it. 'Accountants know they need to be more advisory, but not everyone can figure out how to do it. Couple that with the fact that AI will be doing a lot of the lower-level work accountants do today, and we need to create that next level advisor now,' said Tolin, an award-winning growth professional and a member of the Accounting Marketing Hall of Fame. 'By showing accountants how to unlock patterns in their actions and turn client conversations into emotionally intelligent advice, we can create the accounting professional of the future.' Unlike traditional tech or training platforms, XcelLabs blends high-impact strategy with tactical AI tools designed to upskill people, not just automate processes. By pushing boundaries, lifting up people and leveraging AI for every business challenge, firms will become AI-X (SM) firms – firms that use AI to drive excellence.

He is leaving the Company in as strong a position as ever and, although he will no longer lead the day-to-day operation, I am very pleased that Marcelo will remain a member of our Board of Directors to help steer the Company's strategy into the future,' Mr. Staton concluded. 'I am honored to have been appointed the next CEO of Arcos Dorados. I would like to thank Woods and the other members of our Board for this incredible opportunity. We have come a long way on our journey to become Latin America and the Caribbean's largest and most successful QSR operator and I am certain that we still have a huge opportunity to continue growing for the foreseeable future,' said Mr. Raganato. 'I worked directly with Marcelo for more than ten years, beginning when I became President of the Caribbean Division and he was COO, and for the last six years as COO of Arcos Dorados. Together, we helped develop the Company's long-term strategy and I am committed to generating value for all our stakeholders.'
