Finance and Operations need to work together.

Often they don’t.

Join Richard Veltre and myself for discussions about business (the BIZ) and finance (the BOOKS).

About Rich: He has served in executive leadership positions at finance consulting firms focusing on the development, implementation, and management of the full spectrum of financial systems. Rich started his career at Price Waterhouse and now acts at a fractional CFO for companies in healthcare, finance, logistics, and construction.

About Dan: He built his career working key leadership positions for several large corporations such as Menards and Lands’ End. In 2005, Dan decided he no longer wanted to continue on the corporate executive path and launched InVision. He now helps owners and executives improve operational performance and workplace culture in the areas of manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and finance.

  • 75% of Businesses Overpay! What Your Worker's Comp Could Cost You
    Jun 12 2026

    Workers' Compensation is often viewed as just another cost of doing business. But what if you're paying more than you should?


    In this episode of Books & The Biz, Dan and Rich sit down with Bobby Giurintano of Premium Recovery Experts to discuss a problem many business owners don't realize exists: workers' compensation audit errors. Bobby shares why these mistakes occur, where overpayments are commonly found, and how businesses can identify opportunities to recover money that may have been lost for years.


    If you're looking for practical ways to reduce costs, improve cash flow, and make sure you're not leaving money on the table, this is a conversation worth hearing.

    In this episode of Books & The Biz, Dan Paulson and Rich Veltre break down how weak process quietly damages operations, finance, accountability, and long-term business performance.
