Two Drunk Accountants

Join Tim Garth and Heather Smith as they attempt to unpack what they learned at the Accounting Business Expo—somewhere between the coffee, the chaos, and possibly a wine or two. They’ll chat about the latest AI tech (that we’re all definitely pretending to fully understand), how it’s shaking up the accounting world, and what it might mean for your business… depending on how brave you’re feeling. Expect a few practical tips, some questionable conference highlights, and bold predictions about the future of AI—delivered with the confidence only slightly tipsy accountants can muster.
