Episode 2: Will AI Take Your Job?
Description
We recorded this a few weeks ago which in AI terms basically makes it old news already. And that alone tells you how fast this space is moving.
In this jam packed episode we break down what’s actually changed since ChatGPT dropped in November 2022, why the AI convo makes some accountants roll their eyes, and why we still need to talk about it anyway.
We cover:
- GPT-4, Claude, Gemini and the DeepSeek moment that shook the AI race
- Why 2026 might be the year of the “agent” (AI that does things, not just says things)
- The gap between what LLMs can do and what accounting firms are actually ready for
- Tech debt, change management and why that’s the real bottleneck
- What’s already being automated in firms right now
- Why hourly billing makes less sense in an automated world
We also share real examples from our firms, including:
- Automating compliance and workpapers
- AI agents qualifying new leads
- Using ChatGPT Teams for quarterly advisory reporting
- And yes… “make this email sound less blunt” being one of the most used prompts

This episode : cowboy accountants, refund dramas, and employees walking out with clients.
It’s not hype.
It’s not doom.
It’s what’s actually happening inside accounting firms right now.
And let us know…
Do we keep talking about AI?
Or is Nat banning the topic?
