Sasan Apologizes to Accountants at Intuit Connect
The Accounting Podcast
Integrating AI into Accounting Workflows
This chapter explores the evolution of financial tools and the role of AI in modern accounting workflows. It features a practical guide to creating a financial statement analysis tool and addresses listener queries about the future of tax preparation in an AI-driven landscape.
Blake and David examine Sasan Goodarzi's apology and lukewarm reception regarding the recent controversial TurboTax ad campaign. They also take a look at Intuit's new Enterprise Suite product, which aims to compete with NetSuite and Sage Intacct by offering multi-entity accounting capabilities at a lower price point. Moving on, there's talk of Anthropic's new Claude computing capability, EY's resignation as Super Micro Computer's auditor, and Google's declining search market share in the face of AI competition.
