Proudly brought to you by Ignition who we both love and use in our businesses to automate proposals and streamline invoicing.This episode is a love letter to the accounting profession. In a season full of stress and pressure, Nat and Sarah take a step back to celebrate the incredible impact accountants have on their clients and communities.They share powerful stories from their own practices, from helping a tradie client who almost lost everything turn his business around and start saving for an investment property, to supporting an overwhelmed business owner through an SBR that completely transformed their financial position.The episode also features stories from the wider accounting community. Highlights include Nathan Rigney helping save marriages through financial stress relief, Christopher Dodson's client with 23 years of outstanding tax who became "a different man" after getting up to date, Justine Vorick receiving flowers from a grateful client (in a mop bucket, no less), and Clayton Wood in regional Albury helping a family go from no money for groceries to saving for a house deposit and commercial building purchase.The conversation also dives into AI tools the hosts are loving right now Nat walks through her meeting notes workflow using Vinyl for transcription, Granola for meetings that don't allow bots, and WhisperFlow for voice-to-text on the go, plus a look at how AI can automate client action items straight into Karbon.Tea time serves up a spicy industry story about award criteria and a reminder that not all growth metrics tell the full story.Follow, subscribe and share with an accountant who needs a space where the real conversations happen.☕️ Send us your accounting industry tea and how you are using AI in your firm - hello@accountantsafterhours or DM on socials.🔗 Episode linksVinyl - AI meeting transcription (shout out to Trent McLaren)Granola - background meeting notesWhisperFlow - voice-to-text app💬 Join in on the conversation:- Follow us on Instagram (it’s where we have the most fun) - Like us on Facebook- Follow us on LinkedIn- Watch and subscribe on YouTubeDISCLAIMER: This podcast is general information only and does not constitute legal or professional advice.
