“It’s totally okay if the AP clerk is doing something incredibly different in five years. It's okay if the accounting firm serves 50% more customers with the same number of people, if the business model works, cool with it, and if it all blows up … we'll adapt. So my only hope is that people are adaptable, and they don't become so rigid that whatever changes come, they get left behind.”
Meet your AI-sherpa, your guide, in this new accounting frontier.
Chad Davis, founder and partner of LiveCA, joins Ted and Jessica to talk about his journey with AI in accounting. Chad's interest in AI grew as he saw its potential to revolutionize the accounting industry. He has since become a leading expert and speaker on the subject, implementing robust AI solutions in his firm, and fostering a community of learning and support through Automation Town, a group of accountants interested in how AI can be integrated into their work.
This episode explores the importance of education, trust, and adaptability in embracing AI, and how Chad's experiences can inspire other accountants to lean into the future of their profession.
And in true summer road trip vibes, we also talk with Chad about what it is like to live with his family and run a firm from his RV while traveling around Canada and the US.
