Overview

Many small enterprises, short of knowledge and resources, may view the benefits of AI as being out of reach. But small accountancy practices (SMPs) can help their clients profit from AI just as much as any other business. This panel discussion will focus on the way SMPs can build their own expertise and help their clients identify use-cases, select the right AI tools, manage the transition to AI competency and overcome key challenges such as data-quality issues, cost and integration with existing software solutions.

In this webinar we look at:

  • guidance on writing AI queries
  • identifying and prioritising AI use cases
  • convincing clients to adopt AI
  • the role of SMPs in an AI-driven future.
