The Accounting Podcast

What happens when the traditional path from college to accounting career gets disrupted by AI and automation? This week, Blake and David explore who's most likely to quit accounting firms (hint: it's the middle managers), why wages are rising while jobs disappear, and how one college is revolutionizing accounting education. You'll discover which employees are happiest and most miserable in accounting, learn why ChatGPT conversations could be used against you in court, and hear from Nicole Wetter about Green River College's innovative applied accounting program that puts students in real internships while teaching them AI tools alongside traditional skills.
