Every lesson is built on a task accountants do every week.

Compare exports, flag mismatches and possible duplicates, and write up what needs a second look.
Excel and Sheets formulas
Describe what you need in plain English and get the formula — XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, pivots — with an explanation.
Client emails
Draft document requests, payment reminders and explanations of a tax change that clients actually understand.
Month‑end checklists
Build and keep a close checklist, track what’s missing and summarize status for your manager.
Reading documents
Summarize contracts, invoices and long IRS guidance into the points that matter for your client.
Client data, kept private
What never goes into an AI tool, how to anonymize records, and which settings keep your inputs private.

Questions accountants ask
Is it safe to use AI with client data?
Only if you do it correctly. The course teaches what you should never paste into an AI tool, how to anonymize data, and which settings and business plans keep your inputs private.
Will AI replace accountants?
AI handles drafts, formulas and first passes. Judgment, review and responsibility stay with you. The course focuses on using AI for the repetitive parts and checking its output.
Do I need to know Excel well?
Basic Excel or Google Sheets is enough. Part of the course is getting AI to write and explain formulas for you.
Does it work with QuickBooks or Xero?
The course works alongside any accounting software. You learn to use AI on exports, reports and documents from the tools you already use.
How long does it take?
About 10–15 minutes a day for 28 days, so it fits around busy season.
