Together, they dig into how firms can use tech—like APIs, automation, and AI—to streamline the day-to-day, reduce manual tasks, and give accountants their time (and brainpower) back. \nThe mission? Help accountants move from reactive task managers to proactive, strategic advisors. Alan shares practical ways to identify client pain points, fill gaps with intelligent solutions, and use technology as a launchpad for deeper client impact. \nIf you're ready to leave the \"typewriter\" work behind and show clients your real value, this one’s for you. \nJoin the conversation at RightNOW 2025 in Nashville, May 19-21, to explore these important topics with leaders and innovators shaping the future of the profession. \nResources:\nRightNOW25 conference: https://www.rightworks.com/rightnow2025\nThe RightNOW podcast is produced and owned by Rightworks.
