...Some accountants fear being replaced.

Tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and AI tax assistants are streamlining research, automating routine queries, and helping professionals focus on strategic thinking. In fact, firms that embrace AI are increasing efficiency, reducing errors, and retaining top talent by removing the grunt work.
Yet here’s what most get wrong: AI doesn't eliminate expertise. It amplifies it.

AI isn’t your competitor, it’s your copilot.
The real risk? Being outpaced by those who adopt AI smarter and faster than you.

Whether you’re in practice, compliance, or tax advisory, you should be exploring how AI can multiply your effectiveness.
