Are You Being Left Behind in the Accounting AI Revolution?

Accounting firms today face a perfect storm: 75% of CPAs approaching retirement age, increasing client demands for real-time insights, and the pressure to do more with fewer resources. Meanwhile, AI capabilities have matured significantly—yet many firms remain paralyzed by uncertainty about how to implement this technology effectively.

Our new whitepaper, "How Forward-Thinking Firms are Balancing the Books with AI," offers a blueprint for accounting firms ready to move beyond analysis paralysis and embrace AI as a strategic advantage.

What is this whitepaper?

This practical guide provides a step-by-step framework for evaluating and adopting AI-native accounting platforms, featuring insights from industry leaders:

  • Sasha Orloff, Founder & CEO of Puzzle
  • Matt Tait, CEO of Decimal
  • Shlomo Agishtein, Director of AI at Trullion

Why did we create it?

We saw too many accounting firms struggling with the same challenges. As the whitepaper states: "The challenge is no longer access to the technology—it's having the framework and leadership to adopt it effectively."

What will you learn?

  • How to streamline month-end close processes that "traditionally take 5-15 days in many firms" through AI-native tools that deliver "accurate books in a fraction of the time," as Sasha Orloff explains
  • Strategies to "scale efficiently without proportional increases in headcount" while still delivering "real-time, accurate financials to clients," as demonstrated in the Decimal case study
  • Ways to overcome "perfection culture" in accounting, where professionals are, as Shlomo Agishtein notes, "used to being right the first time" by building "workflows with review checkpoints"
  • Methods to transform accountants' roles from data processors to strategic advisors, where "bookkeepers become analysts" and "accountants become advisors" with real-time visibility
  • How to evaluate if a tool is truly "AI-native" by looking for architecture "built from the ground up to leverage AI as a core operating principle, not a plugin" rather than "bolt-ons to systems architected decades ago"
  • A practical roadmap for adoption including how to "identify the right entry points for AI" to "quickly demonstrate ROI, build internal trust, and lay a strong foundation"

The most successful firms won't just be using AI—they'll be transformed by it. As Sasha Orloff puts it in the paper: "You're not going to get replaced by AI—but you will be replaced by someone who uses AI."
