According to a Forbes survey, data scientists spend nearly 80 percent of their time collecting and cleaning data, and only 20 percent using it. Emily Huang, CEO and co-founder of fintech startup idaciti, thinks that ratio has to flip, and she has a solution. In the latest edition of AFP Conversations, Huang discusses how idaciti parses public financial filings from the SEC every 10 minutes, so finance professionals can focus on analyzing and leveraging the data instead of collecting and cleaning it.
