Description
Paul Peterson and Matt Barbieri, hosts of The Accounting Disruptors, explore why the rapid adoption of AI can feel like a grieving process for accountants and organizations. They talk candidly about fears of losing competence, control, professional identity, and job security, as well as the difficult reality that implementing AI often creates more work before it saves time. It’s an honest conversation about the gap between AI’s promised future and its current capabilities, the loss of community within accounting, and why leaders must acknowledge the human impact of disruption while helping their people move from fear to confidence.
The Accounting Disruptors is produced by Wiss, an AI-optimized CPA and advisory firm serving privately held and venture-backed businesses.
