Accounting is at a defining inflection point. As AI begins to reshape workflows, productivity, service delivery, and decision-making across the profession, accountants need more than awareness of new tools. They need the right mindset to adapt, the right skillset to work effectively with AI, and the right toolset to participate meaningfully in the future of accounting.

In this webinar, hosted by community sponsor Miles Masterclass, participants will explore what it truly means to become an AI-ready accountant. The session will examine how AI is already influencing the profession, why many organizations still struggle to scale adoption, and how accountants can prepare themselves for a future that demands stronger judgment, greater adaptability, technological fluency, and ethical oversight. It will also introduce the broader learning journey and highlight how tools such as Microsoft Copilot, SQL, Power BI, Copilot Studio, and Power Automate fit into the larger transformation of accounting work.

 

Learning Objectives & Key Takeaways

  1. Understand the AI adoption gap in accounting firms and identify barriers such as workflow fragmentation, data inconsistency, and lack of integration.
  2. Apply the AI Maturity Framework to assess and evolve practice, and understand how roles shift toward AI enabled advisory.
  3. Design a structured pathway to become an AI ready CPA or firm, including moving from assessment to pilot, scale, and measurement.
