Your Spreadsheet Can’t Do This: AI That Actually Knows Your Business (with CEO of Forecast, an Accelo Company)

AI isn’t just another layer of tooling—it’s becoming the operating system for how professional services teams plan, deliver, and scale their work. In this conversation, Tim Fisher sits down with Joe DiPaulo (CEO of Accelo) to unpack how AI-native PSA platforms like Forecast are shifting teams from reactive firefighting to proactive, data-driven delivery.

They explore what’s actually changing on the ground: from margin leakage and spreadsheet chaos to predictive resourcing and AI-assisted decision-making. The throughline is clear—AI isn’t about replacing people, it’s about helping teams scale smarter, with better visibility, stronger utilization, and more consistent outcomes.
