Netgain Continues to Reshape Accounting with AI, Previewing a New Consolidation Engine at Its Second Annual Accounting Summit

Published

on

Consolidations by Netgain is the latest in a steady run of releases built to make the accountant’s workflow easier

DENVER, June 24, 2026  /PRNewswire/ — Netgain, the company powering the next generation of accounting professionals, gathered more than 200 accounting professionals in Denver on June 18 for its Second Annual Netgain Accounting Summit. The throughline of the day was simple: accounting has reached a new frontier, and the question is no longer whether accountants should use AI, but how to use it well.

Netgain used the stage to preview its newest product, an AI-native consolidation engine designed to take one of accounting’s most painful workflows off the spreadsheet. Accounting leaders who want to help shape the product can request a demo to learn about joining the first beta cohort.

Eight years in, still building for accountants

Netgain was founded on a simple idea: accountants should spend less time fighting their tools and more time on the work only they can do. Eight years and fifteen products later, that has not changed. What has changed is the pace. AI is letting the team remove manual, repetitive work faster than ever, and each new release follows the same pattern that has defined every turning point in the profession, from double-entry bookkeeping to the spreadsheet to cloud ERP: keep the purpose intact, and take the grind out of getting there.

“This is the most exciting time to be an accountant in decades,” said Adam Riches, CPA, CEO and Founder of Netgain. “The teams that learn to use AI well are going to spend less time hunting through data and more time on the judgment only they can provide. Helping them get there is the whole point of what we are doing.”

Closing the consolidation gap

Many accounting teams hit a wall when it comes to consolidations. Real ownership structures, including investments and non-controlling interest, alternate hierarchies, and high subsidiary counts, are hard to model.

“Consolidation is one of the last places accounting teams still fall back on spreadsheets, and it shows up at every single close,” said Chis Miller, CPA, MBA, CMPA, SVP of Product Strategy and Founder of Netgain. “We are building a Consolidations Engine to handle the hard parts the right way, and we want a first cohort of accountants in the room with us while we do it.”

The product is in active development, and Netgain is enrolling beta customers and partners who want to lead the way. Interested teams can request a demo to learn more about being part of the first cohort to shape it.

What accounting professionals took home

True to its first year, the Summit was built as a working session designed to provide immediate benefit to attendees. It opened with a keynote from Netgain CEO and Founder Adam Riches, CPA, on where AI is taking the profession, the session in which Consolidations by Netgain was previewed. That practical tone carried through everything that followed. Sessions led by accounting experts traded theory for tactics attendees could take home, from tightening the monthly close and fixing AP bottlenecks to optimizing financial workflows and unlocking AI software capabilities.

The peer-to-peer exchange was just as valuable. Roundtable discussions gave accounting leaders a candid space to compare notes with others doing the same work, on topics like shortening the close, scaling through acquisitions, and putting AI to work in accounting. The day closed with a motivational keynote from Olympic gold medalist Connor Fields, whose story of pushing through serious adversity struck a chord with the moment accounting is in today: the hardest challenges often set up the biggest breakthroughs.

“Some of the best moments had nothing to do with a slide deck,” said Nathan Smart, CPA, President and Founder of Netgain. “This is a chance for accountants to step away from the grind and learn from peers who do exactly what they do. That kind of conversation is hard to find back at your desk.”

The momentum continues

Building on a strong second year, Netgain is already turning its attention to 2027. Planning for next year’s Summit is underway, and details on dates, location, and registration will be shared as they are confirmed.

None of this would have been possible without this year’s sponsors, whose support reflects the strength of the community around the event. Netgain extends its thanks to RSM, CrossCountry Consulting, Rocky Mountain NetSuite User Group, Charted, SuiteCentral, Eide Bailly, Salora ERP, Wiss, Blue-Collar, Armanino, and Concentrus.

Beyond the Screen: INFiLED Expands LED Across Rail Transport

Published

on

By

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In June 2026, INFiLED completed a new digital wayfinding installation at Shenzhen North Railway Station, where GeminiLED Series was deployed at key passenger circulation points. Together with earlier INFiLED rail projects across China, the installation points to a broader role for LED display in transport environments.

Brightness, protection and energy efficiency remain fundamental. Yet as passenger flows grow more complex and stations take on a wider mix of information, wayfinding and operational functions, display value increasingly depends on where information appears, how it responds to movement and how naturally the screen fits the space around it.

That shift is visible across several recent projects: at Shenzhen North, passenger flow is shaping display design; Hera installations across multiple high-speed rail stations show how standardization can coexist with site-specific adaptation; and LED display is extending from passenger-facing areas into professional operational environments.

Shenzhen North: When Passenger Flow Shapes the Product

Shenzhen North Railway Station brings high-speed rail together with three metro lines, creating passenger flows that converge, divide and change direction throughout the hub. In this environment, wayfinding depends not only on what information is shown, but also on where passengers encounter it and which direction they are travelling.

INFiLED GeminiLED Series responds directly to that spatial requirement. Its dual-sided structure integrates two independently controlled display faces within one suspended unit, allowing information to address passengers approaching from opposite directions. During peak periods, both sides can reinforce key transfer and wayfinding guidance; at quieter times, each face can present different content for the audience around it.

The product design follows the same spatial logic. With a 25.5 mm ultra-slim profile and suspended installation, INFiLED GeminiLED brings bidirectional communication into a restrained overhead form. Its lightweight structure is particularly relevant to operating stations, where structural loading, available space and short installation windows place practical limits on refurbishment work.

Shenzhen North illustrates a wider change in rail display: passenger flow, viewing direction and architectural conditions are increasingly shaping the role and form of the screen itself.

Across Multiple Stations: Standardization Meets Local Needs

A major interchange may call for a highly specific response. Across the wider rail network, repeatability becomes equally important.

INFiLED Hera Series has been deployed at Chuzhou, Lu’an, Lianyungang, Wuxi, Nanjing South, Yiwu and Rizhao railway stations. The underlying platform remains consistent, while pixel pitch, screen form and installation configuration respond to different spaces and information tasks:

Chuzhou places a large display around the gate area, keeping passenger information prominent as people move towards boarding.Lu’an and Lianyungang combine train information with commercial DOOH content.Wuxi uses three screens to extend information visibility across the waiting hall, while Nanjing South places greater emphasis on sustained 24/7 operation.Yiwu and Rizhao take Hera into wraparound and customized forms, allowing digital content to follow service areas and architectural geometry more closely.

Together, these projects show why standardization and adaptability need to advance side by side. A consistent product platform creates a repeatable foundation for engineering and delivery, while site-specific configuration keeps each installation aligned with local passenger flow, architecture and information priorities.

From Passenger Spaces to Operational Environments

The role of LED also extends beyond the areas passengers see.

At Shenzhen’s Pingshan Square Station, a WP Series P1.25 display presents train information at platform level. Other Shenzhen Metro projects, including Pingshanwei and Baishitang, further show how different LED formats can respond to different station layouts and passenger-facing information needs.

Behind these public spaces are the environments where rail operations are monitored, coordinated and discussed. Here, display priorities shift towards fine-pitch clarity, extended viewing, thermal performance and serviceability.

INFiLED’s portfolio extends into these control rooms and professional spaces through WT Series for ultra-fine-pitch visualization, WP Wrap for curved control-room environments, and WK Series for close-viewing monitoring and meeting applications.

A meeting-room installation at the Shenzhen Metro Building adds another layer to this picture. Rail display now spans both the spaces passengers move through and the professional environments where information is reviewed and operations are coordinated.

A More Integrated Direction for Rail Display

Taken together, these projects reveal a clear progression.

At Shenzhen North, passenger movement shapes the display. Across the Hera installations, a repeatable platform adapts to different station conditions. From platforms and waiting halls to operational and management spaces, LED is reaching further across the rail environment.

The larger shift is from treating display as an endpoint for information to considering it as part of the space in which information is used.

For passengers, that means guidance appearing where decisions are made. For stations, it means display forms that respond to real architectural and installation conditions. For operators, it means visual technology suited to both public and professional environments.

As rail networks continue to expand and digitalize, the strongest display strategies will align technology with movement, architecture, information and operation from the outset. Across INFiLED’s recent rail projects, that direction is already taking visible form.
