CEO and Founder @rlacerte joined @AccountingToday to talk how AI is shaping the future of accounting. Did you know: 87% of firms are ambitious about AI, but those leaning into it are seeing 2-3x the impact. Tune into the full conversation: accountingtoday.com/podcast/…

New AI tools show up every week. You don’t need to try all of them. Dan Luthi, Partner and COO at Ignite Spot Accounting Services, suggests starting with what you already have. Check whether the AI features in your current tools are getting you where you need to be. Do that before you add more or build a big strategic plan. “Take it one step at a time and get comfortable, and then navigate from there.”

At our 2026 Accountant Partner Council, accounting professionals from @CpaByChoice, @conseroglobal, @IgniteSpot, and @teamaprio shared what advice they give clients about AI: ➡️ If you haven't started with AI, start dabbling now. ➡️ Find a strategic partner who can figure out the options on your behalf. ➡️ Begin with the tools you already use, and check whether their AI features help you get where you need to be. ➡️ Choose one problem or one clean workflow with a great data set. Prove it out, then scale.

This is what it looks like when the most forward-thinking firms in accounting get in a room together. At our Accountant Partner Council 2026, we spent real time with our partners pushing their firms toward what's next, growth, AI, and everything in between. Accountants make the whole system work. We're proud to build alongside you. BILL 🧡 accountants.

The biggest takeaway from BILL Accounting Partner Council (APC) 2026: AI is not just a buzzword, it's the engine that will drive growth at every level of an accounting firm. 🚀 We enjoyed great conversations with the leaders shaping the future of accounting and will use their feedback to shape our roadmap to take their practices to the next level.
