The FICPA's "The Practitioner's Edge" delivers practical insights for CPAs and professionals in small firms. Each episode explores strategies, trends, and real-world solutions to help you run a stronger practice, serve clients better, and stay ahead in a changing profession.   This month, we're joined by Georgia Smith, lead product manager with Wolters Kluwer, to explore how small accounting firms can harness technology and AI to work more efficiently, reduce risk, and uncover new opportunities for growth. Smith discusses tools such as CCH AnswerConnect's Document Analysis and CCH Axcess Advisor, sharing real-world examples of how firms are reducing time spent on manual work, identifying advisory opportunities across their client base, and creating capacity without adding staff. She also addresses one of the biggest questions surrounding AI adoption: how firms can embrace new technology while maintaining security, accuracy, and the human expertise clients depend on.   "Technology is not your enemy. You should leverage technology to help automate your repetitive tasks." Georgia Smith | Wolters Kluwer

The FICPA's "The Practitioner's Edge" delivers practical insights for CPAs and professionals in small firms. Each episode explores strategies, trends and real-world solutions to help you run a stronger practice, serve clients better and stay ahead in a changing profession. This month, we're joined by Eric Cohen, CEO and founder of Merchant Advocate, to explore how payment processing reviews can become a powerful value-added service for accounting firms. Cohen explains why credit card processing fees are often one of a business's largest—and least understood—expenses, revealing how hidden rate increases and complex fee structures can quietly erode profitability. He shares practical strategies for helping clients uncover savings without changing providers, while positioning your firm as a trusted advisor that proactively protects clients' bottom lines. From navigating evolving payment regulations to monitoring ongoing fee increases, Cohen demonstrates how this often-overlooked service can strengthen client relationships and create lasting value.    "If you do the right thing, your business will grow naturally."

The FICPA's The Practitioner’s Edge delivers practical insights for CPAs and professionals in small firms. Each episode explores strategies, trends and real-world solutions to help you run a stronger practice, serve clients better and stay ahead in a changing profession.  This month, we're joined by Dan Giddings, Account Executive with Blue J, to explore how AI is transforming tax research for accounting firms. Giddings explains why purpose-built AI tools offer a more secure and reliable alternative to general AI platforms by providing answers backed exclusively by trusted tax authorities, including IRS guidance, regulations, case law and state-specific resources. He also discusses how firms can use AI to streamline research, draft client communications, analyze tax returns and uncover proactive planning opportunities, all while maintaining data security and client confidentiality.  The conversation also highlights how firms of all sizes can empower every team member, from junior staff to partners, with AI tools that reduce research time, improve consistency and create more capacity for higher-value advisory services. Giddings emphasizes that successful firms are not replacing professional judgment with AI. Instead, they are using it to enhance accuracy, improve efficiency and deliver better client outcomes.  "AI should help firms create capacity, not replace professional judgment. The goal is to free your team to deliver better advice and better client service."  Dan Giddings, Account Executive, Blue J, LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-giddings/    FICPA Members: Discover additional tools and resources in the FICPA Small Firm Suite at Small Firm Suite - Florida Institute of CPAs.

Each episode explores strategies, trends and real-world solutions to help you run a stronger practice, serve clients better and stay ahead in a changing profession.

He emphasizes how shifting away from manual data entry allows practitioners to focus on high-value advisory services, ultimately increasing firm capacity without adding headcount. Roe provides a roadmap for firms to navigate the "tax automation journey," highlighting that the most successful practitioners are those who embrace standardized workflows and modern technology to solve the perennial staffing and capacity challenges facing the profession. "Automation isn't just about saving time; it’s about creating the capacity to be the advisor your clients actually want you to be."
