In this episode, I break down the newest wave of autonomous AI and what it means for accounting firms as AI moves from tools to agents that actually do work for you. I walk through how desktop AI like Claude Cowork and Multbot signal a shift toward AI that operates across your apps, files, and workflows, and why this is both exciting and messy. We also roast a real 75-year-old firm that just changed hands, talk through what the new owner should do first, and dig into a full mailbag covering AI security, practice management systems, buying firms, pricing work upfront, hiring managers, and building a more focused firm.
