No AI is ever going to jail for you
In the evolving landscape of accounting, AI is often overhyped for its capabilities, yet it neglects critical human factors like apathy and fear. As trust remains the key asset for accountants, the true challenge lies in how AI can enhance this trust rather than replace it.

FinTracks: Falls Creek 2026 Ski Trip
Join a small group of accounting firm leaders and accounting tech at the snow! Big conferences like Xerocon are fun. But it can be hard to connect with people on a deeper level. Our goal with FinTracks is to create small events for the accounting industry in an aim to build connections, have interesting conversations and collaborate with each other. We are coming into the third year running it after hosting two highly successful ski trips over the last two years (previously named Finance n First Tracks). Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday would allow for time on the snow along with a mix of some structured and unstructured conversation around the accounting industry, business problems, business wins and trends in the industry. We want to allow for serendipitous moments so don’t want things to be overly structured but still want to talk about specific issues or topics of interest for the group. There will still be free time for any work that people might need to do with the structured sessions taking place in the late afternoon and majority of snow time being in the morning. It will be a respite from the day-to-day of running a business. There will be time for slope-side adventures, relaxation, and plenty of good food, drinks, and conversation. **Click the link to see further details on the event**
