Hey everyone, I’m Rudy, co-owner of a boutique accounting and tax firm in Chandler, but I live in Queen Creek. My firm specializes in helping construction contractors integrate their CRM with QuickBooks Online to create a unified financial platform empowering better operational decisions and unlocking strategic tax savings. Earlier this summer, I made a decision to go all-in on AI. When I came to the realization (IMO) that AI will probably be the best way to handle the amount of work that is coming in accounting and tax considering the AICPA states that over the next 5-15 years that 75% of CPAs will be retiring (or fill in the blank) leaving a huge vacuum to fill in our industry. Along with universities steadily seeing a drop in accounting majors. The IRS has already pivoted heavily in the direction of AI and is set to deploy more online tools for taxpayers, tax pros, chatbots, voicebots, and of course using for audit selection. So yeah the prospects of AI and the overall impact are exciting. Either I adapt and learn or fall behind every day. Plus, I'm kind of wanna be tech nerd just wanting to build some cool automations in the process. At any rate, I'm excited to connect with other AI forward-thinkers in the Valley. Lets go!!!! 🚀🚀
