AI Talks January: You Can’t Ignore AI Forever (Trust Us, We Tried)
Speaker: Donna Reade, Founder at Team Reade
Schedule: January 15, 2026 at 3:30 PM EST
AI isn’t coming for your job but it is coming for your time, your workflow and your sanity (in a good way). For many accountants and bookkeepers, AI feels overwhelming, confusing, or like “one more thing” to learn. The truth? You’ve already waited long enough and that’s okay.
In this kickoff session, we’ll cut through the hype, fear and tech jargon to show how AI can actually support the way accountants and bookkeepers already think and work. You’ll learn how to start using AI as a practical assistant (not a replacement) so you can work smarter, reduce mental overload and create space for higher-value work (and maybe even a life outside of busy season).
✔️ Hoping AI is “a future problem”
✔️ Wondering if it’s hype, scary, or just one more thing
✔️ Quietly pretending you’ll deal with it later
…this session is for you.
In our kickoff AI Talk for Insightful Accountant, we’re cutting through the noise to show how AI can actually help you work smarter—without coding, jargon, or becoming a tech wizard.
This isn’t about replacing accountants.
It’s about giving you better tools, less mental overload, and more control over how you work.
What you’ll walk away with:
- A clear, no-panic understanding of AI
- Practical ways accountants and bookkeepers can use it right now
- One simple way to start using AI this week (yes, really)
Because AI isn’t going away…
…and neither are accountants.
