NATP Breaks Up with Intuit & Fat Joe vs. BDO
The Accounting Podcast
Transforming Accounting Efficiency with AI Tools
This chapter explores the shift from traditional spreadsheets to AI-driven tools for managing fixed assets and amortization, improving efficiency for accountants. It also discusses how tax professionals are adjusting their schedules to reduce weekend work and provides insights on various software solutions for better client management.
Blake and David touch on several hot topics in the accounting world, including the fallout from Intuit's controversial TurboTax ad, and the National Association of Tax Preparers cutting ties with the company. They also examine Trump Jr.'s threats against Deloitte, KPMG's support for alternative pathways to CPA licensure, and rapper Fat Joe's recent experiences with BDO.
