The accounting profession continues to be burdened with critical technology adoption challenges, especially during peak seasons when overwhelming workloads are commonplace. However, AI is increasingly extending a lifeline as more firms are open to exploring the benefits of applying GenAI tools to drive efficiency so they can shift their focus toward providing value-driven client services.

Rightworks unveils free AI implementation guide
In partnership with accounting podcaster Jason Staats, Rightworks is offering its free, “Creating an AI framework for your accounting firm” guide with practical steps for using AI easily and effectively while minimizing risk. It outlines the benefits and challenges of implementing GenAI, how to designate an AI champion and provides insight on identifying and selecting the most suitable GenAI tools. The guide also offers advice on setting data input guidelines and implementing a GenAI policy to ensure smooth integration.

“To date it’s been a real challenge, and borderline impractical, for many firms to go through the due diligence required to responsibly roll out AI assistants in their firms. I’m very excited to share the free resource I’ve developed with Rightworks to solve this problem,” said Jason Staats, entrepreneur, CPA and host of the Jason Daily Podcast. “Not only does the guide offer a simplified framework to enable AI usage in a straightforward manner the entire firm can understand, but the companion AI assistant comparison table also summarizes the most important security considerations of leading AI assistants.”
