Tax Service Integration and Lack of Curiosity in Accounting
The hosts discuss a new tax service that seamlessly integrates and pushes users towards their own tax experts. They highlight the lack of curiosity in the accounting profession, as shown by the low usage of chat GPT technology. They express frustration with the abundance of superficial AI articles in the accounting industry and suggest a webinar to explore AI together.
Blake and David discuss issues relating to the accounting profession's talent pipeline, including a high school student's negative experience in her first accounting class and efforts by state CPA societies to reduce licensing barriers. They move on to tech topics, like the slow adoption of AI tools such as ChatGPT among accountants and new product features announced by Intuit and Xero. Wrapping things up, they share listener feedback on finding resources to learn new accounting software and workflows and provide commentary on app subscription price increases and the need for accountants to price their services properly.
