AI is here—now what? A practical guide to using AI without losing your edge

AI is no longer the future—it’s right here, right now. But knowing how to actually use it in your accounting or bookkeeping firm? That’s where most people get stuck.

In this session, Billie Mcloughlin ACCA shares a no-nonsense, practical breakdown of how firms can use AI tools to enhance productivity, support teams, and deliver more value to clients—without losing the human touch.

We’ll explore:

• Where AI adds real value in day-to-day operations
• How to train and upskill your team to embrace AI (instead of fear it)
• Which tools Billie’s seeing firms actually adopt—and what’s working
• Why AI won’t replace you, but someone using AI might
• The mindset shift firm owners need to make to stay competitive

If you’re still waiting for the perfect time to adopt AI, this session will show you it’s already here—and how to start using it well.
