Daria Weiss has a unique combination of talents. She has both accounting and technology backgrounds rolled into one! She says, “Combining accounting and technology makes working with LSL a perfect fit for me!”
At the beginning of her career, she worked as an auditor at Ernst & Young in Minneapolis, MN. She then moved up to the National level in Cleveland, OH. Of that part of her career, she says, “Although I liked the problem-solving part of accounting, I realized I enjoyed technology a lot more.” Daria spent the last twelve years working at Caseware International, most recently as the Head of Product for the U.S. market.
As a Senior Manager in the Technology Consulting team at LSL, Daria works with clients on technology training, consulting, and implementation engagements. Her focus is on Caseware International’s suite of products, including Working Papers and USGAAP Financials, and RPA (Robotic Process Automation) technologies, such as UiPath.
Great Clients for Daria … Daria’s superpower is connecting the dots. When she worked at Caseware International, she was asked to help land a large U.S. Government contract. Of her role as the Product Manager for that project, she says, “I listened to the pain points the customer was experiencing. Through my product knowledge, I was able to identify solutions that would solve their problems within the product if adopted by the customer.”
LSL Candidate Tip … In today’s business world, it is exciting to find someone who knows accounting and technology. Daria works with clients to understand their requirements (pain points) as they embrace digital transformation in the accounting realm. Each company has unique needs. “I may play a project management role for clients who choose to incorporate applications on their own but need guidance in staying on track.” For other companies, Daria works with LSL’s teams to facilitate the implementation when clients choose to outsource all their accounting needs to LSL.
Personal … Daria loves to travel; her favorite place is the Scottish Highlands. She enjoys being outdoors. And summers will find her hiking and kayaking at her lake place. She prefers reading to watching television unless it’s sports. She is a huge fan of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (part of the Canadian Football League–U.S. equivalent to the NFL) and the Winnipeg Jets (in the NHL).
