When Change is Mandatory, Who Wins?

Some change you choose. This isn't that. The accounting industry is having change done to it right now, and the two biggest culprits are regulation and AI. AML, KYC, tax agent linking, none of it was on anyone's wish list, it just landed on the desk with a due date. Same with AI, whether you're ready or not, it's already in your software, your clients' inboxes, and their expectations.In this episode Aly and Andrew ask the obvious question. When you're forced to change, who actually wins? Is it the firms who move fast, the regulators, the software vendors quietly adding a line to the invoice, or the clients turning up with robot generated advice and asking you to bless it for free?We dig into what the new rules really cost beyond the compliance box, how AI helps when it's useful and annoys everyone when it isn't, and how to come out the other side credible, sane, and still running a firm you actually like.Pour a bevvy, pull up a log, and tell us, which forced change is winning at your place right now?AAAAA IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR SPONSORSPinch Payments helps Australian businesses get paid faster without the usual follow-up fatigue.
