Peter McCarroll: AI for Accountants

Show Summary:

In this episode, we explore the future of accounting in the age of AI and what firms need to do to stay ahead. From the growing risk of transactional work becoming undervalued to the reality that software providers like Intuit and Xero won’t be protecting accountants, the conversation gets straight to the point: AI won’t replace accountants—but accountants who use AI will replace those who don’t.

We dive into why effective staff training and leadership are critical, and how firms can unlock big advantages by building their own micro tools and AI agents. Whether you’re concerned about disruption or excited about innovation, this episode offers a clear roadmap for embracing AI and future-proofing your practice.
