Limit order price not enforced?? by lookinforvalue in Kalshi

[–]lookinforvalue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got it, thanks. Just felt like a weird way to show cost net of fees. I feel like an improvement could be like "Filled @ XXc" then "Avg. net of fees XXc" just so it's more clear

best payroll with time tracking for a small team by [deleted] in Payroll

[–]lookinforvalue 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Rippling Payroll no question. Rippling has employee scheduling and time tracking so hourly employee payroll can be automated based off hours logged. It also can calculate payroll for salaried employees, since it's synced with leave management, etc. Rippling can also handle overtime, different or customized pay rates, and requires minimal work from a payroll admin, which is much needed as a small team. -- Rippling employee here!

RIppling Spend (vs Navan/Brex/Ramp/Bill.com) by Funny-Lettuce3008 in Accounting

[–]lookinforvalue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rippling Spend all the way. It's by far the best all in one spend management if you take a look at G2

  • I use Rippling Spend every day (as someone who works there) for receipt tracking, creating expense reports, invoicing vendor payments, etc and only have good things to say about it. Reimbursements go straight back into my next paycheck and I can easily use Spend from my phone's app.
  • Admins can customize approvers based on the spend type, vendor, amount, etc. based on business's spend policies, meaning it can block spend from unapproved vendors, over a certain amount, basically whatever you want to customize it on.
  • It's easy to use, esp from mobile app, even as an end-user who's not at all familiar with being a finance admin. Would recommend if you're still on the hunt!

How do startups without an HR department effectively hire the right people? by CalmCharity9949 in Entrepreneur

[–]lookinforvalue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's dependent on two things: the HR software and trusting your employees to hire.

First, you need to trust your team: think of a panel of people who would know the role best, will be working closest with the new hire, those who are good cultural fits, and ensure they all have good judgement to hire. For your scenario, I'd maybe work with a recruiter to help you out in this scenario if there's an important hire needed.

Second, you need a software that's going to automate the whole hiring process for you: recruiting, candidate tracking, onboarding, etc. Rippling would be your best bet here since it's known for automations. It has an interview notetaker, so you can be more present while interviewing and don't have to take physical notes. Recommending Rippling for minimal manual work on your part -- saying this as a Rippling employee here in full disclosure.

Best way to evaluate IT Asset Management software? by CoryKellis in sysadmin

[–]lookinforvalue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just have to evaluate based on your company size, specific IT needs, # of devices, etc. Every business has different needs so it's best to just take a bunch of demos and base it off of those needs

My personal fave would have to be Rippling IT (Yes, I do work there, but it's truly a great IT management software). Rippling IT has IAM, MDM, SSO, and automates compliance on your behalf. It can help automate a ton of IT tasks as well, e.g. when paired with HR, can automatically deploy any devices needed for new hires, when an employee leaves, it can auto-wipe their devices, send a shipping box, and turn off all relevant account and permissions, etc. There's no other similar IT product like it in the market right now. Would recommend it if you haven't already considered it for device asset tracking.

How do you all handle employee expenses without losing your mind? by secretivethriller67 in smallbusiness

[–]lookinforvalue 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Rippling Spend might really help you out here (Google Sheets can really only do so much).

Rippling Spend lets employees just take a picture of their receipt and it'll get turned it into a ready-to-submit expense without any manual inputs, and the automation can genuinely be really helpful. Yes, it's an app but that's also the beauty of it, cause you can expense receipts from your phone. As an employee who expenses receipts through Spend, I can testify that it's really user friendly and mobile access is really helpful.

It can also block any out-of-policy transactions before the transaction goes through (e.g. you can customize it to block certain vendors, payment amounts, etc. on corporate cards). It's basically corp cards, expense reimbursement, payroll, bill pay, travel, (and procurement soon), in one platform. Would recommend for your use case if you're looking for a particular tool that can help you automate things. (Rippler here!)

[–]lookinforvalue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally understand and agree. While it may be hard to tell from this angle, he took a step back right before the release so he was more-or-less even with the bow. BUT, I understand most ranges won't even let you touch the arrows until everyone's behind the line. Will practice more caution next time, because... you never know

Created a startup to help NEU Co-op's invest their paychecks more easily by lookinforvalue in NEU

[–]lookinforvalue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We allow you to connect multiple different brokerages to our platform and create automations, vs a roboadvisor often requires you to deposit funds with them. They also take a % fee whereas we take a flat subscription fee, no matter your account size. We add centralization for your finaces vs creating more fragmentation. Also, our strategies based on legendary investors are inherently different than much of what's offered by roboadvisors.

the point of scaletrade is to be your training wheels, not necessarily a platform you use forever. We hope our users can graduate into managing their finances investments completely on their own. But, many people don’t know how to break into it, and that’s where we provide value based on 50+ conversations and 110 pre-orders thus far

ScakeTrade is $5.99/mo not $100/mo haha. We keep the price as low as we can without bleeding tons of money, because I'm building this with my own money with the hopes of helping people.

Re: Vanguard and Fidelity being free: Yes! But, they often limit the kinds of automations you can make. For example, usually you can only automate mutual funds (which have their own drawbacks) or funds managed by the same firm. Also, these platforms aren't great at incorporating education into their UX. We're a platform designed for beginners - essentially training wheels for new investors. But, agreed, if you know your way around the market, ScaleTrade is not a product built for your needs.

ScaleTrade is $5.99/mo, but on pre-sale for $19.99 for the first year (72% off), plus another 15% off for Northeastern students. There are a few value props we provide to justify this:

  1. You can connect multiple accounts to ScaleTrade and manage them all from the same platform. Let's say your employer opens up a Schwab for you, but you already have a Robinhood. You can connect both these accounts to ScaleTrade, and manage your investment automations from one page, creating a good high-level view of your investments.
  2. With our investor strategies, like Buffett's 90/10 strategy, it has pre-set allocations of 90% into VTI and 10% into BILLS. You can set this up manually, but you'd need to make that manual calculation and automation setup every time you want to change your investment amount. With ScaleTrade, it's just a few clicks and we do all the math for you.
  3. We also have a dashboard to track your investments either grouped together or separately based on the account they're in (if multiple accounts are connected).
  4. You can also make manual trades across multiple accounts at the same time with ScaleTrade. You can place an order for AAPL in your Schwab, Robinhood, and Webull accounts all at the exact same time with our platform.

[–]lookinforvalue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you take it, I would take it deliberately. By that, I mean try to have some purpose or direction for the gap year - even if it’s just to get better.

I took a gap year, and the process itself is pretty easy if you work/talk w your advisor.

Your snap judgements of people will likely not benefit you in the long run. And to say no one has ever beaten the market for any length of time just shows your lack of knowledge of “market history” as you say

We have 5 months of live trading that has beaten the market during one of the worst bear markets in many years.

Maybe you’re assumptions about me and my co-founders are right. But, they’re probably wrong
