The Valley Current®: Will Robo-CPAs & Robo-Tax CPAs Emerge from Advanced AI?

In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo speaks with CPA Steve Rabin about the future of AI in accounting and tax preparation. While AI-driven bookkeeping has seen major setbacks—such as the collapse of Bench—Rabin explains why human oversight remains essential for complex financial tasks. Simple tax returns may soon be automated, but nuanced decision-making still requires expertise. They discuss the IRS's self-service tax filing plans, potential AI mentorship for young professionals, and why fully automated CPAs remain a Jetsons-like fantasy. For now, human accountants aren't going anywhere. Tune in for a deep dive into AI's limitations.   https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/03/14/irs-direct-file-doge-musk-free-tax-filing/   Jack Russo Managing Partner [email protected] www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️
