E165: AI Is Here. Everyone's About to Become a Manager.

Six months ago, Alexis built a 100% AI accountancy practice called Accrual Intentions. He called it an experiment. What he didn't say at the time: he was hoping it wouldn't work. In this honest follow-up to Episode 164, Alexis shares what he's processed since — the board meeting that ran in eight minutes, the failures that turned out to be management errors rather than AI errors, and the data that suggests professional services firms have about eighteen months before the compliance work their juniors do today is largely automated. The question isn't whether AI will change your firm. It's whether you'll be ready to manage it when it does. Links: Episode 164 of De-stress Your Business, "I Built a 100% AI Accountancy Firm.
