Regulatory issues are also a key topic, with Revolut facing a significant fine for anti-money laundering violations. Additionally, we delve into the evolving role of technology, sector specialisation in accountancy, and the impact of AI on the profession.

Could AI be doing a day's work in just minutes for accountants? In this episode, Blake and David explore how accounting technology is revolutionizing traditional workflows, from Xero's new AI protocol that connects chatbots directly to accounting data, to Google's game-changing "I" function in Sheets that lets you analyze data with natural language. You'll discover why deep research tools might replace entire teams of analysts and why revealing your AI usage might actually hurt your professional reputation. Plus, hear about unusual recession indicators (men's underwear sales are down!), what Americans consider financial success versus reality, and why accountants everywhere are buzzing about Baker Tilly's merger with Moss Adams. Whether you're curious about automating journal entries or simply wondering if you should disclose your AI wizardry, this episode delivers practical insights for the modern finance professional.SponsorsPayhawk - http://accountingpodcast.promo/payhawkRelay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/relayCloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/casRoboDebit - http://accountingpodcast.promo/robodebitChapters(00:00) - Introduction and Podcast Overview (00:39) - App News and Intuit Updates (07:53) - Intuit's AI and Bitcoin Controversy (11:10) - Xero Innovations (20:16) - Paychex Acquires Paycor (21:11) - Flowcast's AI Agents (25:17) - Pipe Acquires Glean AI (26:28) - Google Sheets AI Formula (34:30) - Google Agent Space (42:29) - AI's Impact on High-Level Jobs (43:12) - Testing AI with Investment Analysis (44:25) - Mother Road Brewery Investment Evaluation (49:31) - Canva's New Sheets Feature (54:31) - Google's Monopoly and Data Breach News (58:22) - AI Disclosure in the Workplace (01:05:51) - Mega Merger of Accounting Firms (01:11:26) - Signs of a Recession (01:17:45) - Upcoming Events and CPE Opportunities Show NotesAccelerating Money Innovation with Deserve Technology Platform and Talenthttps://www.intuit.com/blog/news-social/accelerating-money-innovation-with-deserve-technology-platform-and-talent/ WARNING: Quickbooks Checkinghttps://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/banking/warning-quickbooks-checking/00/1516063 Green Dot considers sale as CEO exitshttps://www.paymentsdive.com/news/green-dot-citi-strategic-review-sale-ceo-exit-gresham/742096/ Intuit Enterprise Suite Spring update features more efficient multi-entity accounting, enhanced reporting, and morehttps://quickbooks.intuit.com/r/enterprise/intuit-enterprise-suite-spring-2025-release-notes/ Strive targets Intuit for Bitcoin buys after orange-pilling GameStophttps://cointelegraph.com/news/strive-targets-intuit-bitcoin-buys-after-gamestop Xero Rolls Out New "Reconcile Period" Featurehttps://insightfulaccountant.com/accounting-tech/general-ledger/xero-rolls-out-new-reconcile-period-feature/ Xero introduces new Model Context Protocol server for smarter accountinghttps://devblog.xero.com/xero-introduces-new-model-context-protocol-server-for-smarter-accounting-4d195ccaeda5 Paychex Acquires Paycor in $4.1 Billion Dealhttps://www.pymnts.com/acquisitions/2025/paychex-acquires-paycor-in-4-1-billion-deal/ Introducing FloQast AI Agents: Revolutionizing Accounting Automationhttps://www.floqast.com/blog/introducing-floqast-ai-agents-revolutionizing-accounting-automation Pipe Acquires Glean.ai to Add Spend Management to Suite of Embedded Financial Solutionshttps://pipe.com/resources/press-releases/pipe-acquires-glean-ai-to-add-spend-management-to-suite-of-embedded-financial-solutionsGoogle Sheets Introduces AI-Powered =AI() Formula for Enhanced Productivityhttps://yourstory.com/2025/04/google-sheets-ai-formula-gemini Scale enterprise search and agent adoption with Google Agentspacehttps://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/google-agentspace-enables-the-agent-driven-enterprise Sarah Friar's LinkedIn Post … https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sarah-friar_what-an-ai-powered-finance-function-of-the-activity-7259765674506399744-IKQD OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar: We are building a lot of IP down into the data center layerhttps://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/03/20/openai-cfo-sarah-friar-we-are-building-a-lot-of-ip-down-into-the-data-center-layer.html Introducing Visual Suite 2.0: Productivity, meet creativityhttps://www.canva.com/newsroom/news/canva-create-2025/ Department of Justice Prevails in Landmark Antitrust Case Against Googlehttps://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-prevails-landmark-antitrust-case-against-google Dark Web Digest – Lessons Learned from the Wolters Kluwer Data Breachhttps://www.purevpn.com/blog/dark-web-digest-issue-4-wolters-kluwer/ New HEC Paris research suggests that shadow adoption of ChatGPT could benefit employees but not the firmshttps://www.hec.edu/en/news-room/new-hec-p...

Are Fintechs moving too fast to keep cybercriminals out? This time we're talking compliance!
