the disruptors
with liz farr

dawn brolin, cpa, cfe, intentionally shrank her firm, powerful accounting, from 11 to three team members, the opposite of the way most firms grow. she also drastically cut her client list, while nearly tripling her fees from a select group of just 19 clients.

“i decided i wanted to change my life,” brolin says. “i want to change my staff’s life. and i want to change the way my clients work with me where they weren’t worried about getting a bill because they called me and asked me a question.”

part of that change in dawn’s life was her passion for coaching college softball, where she serves as the team’s designated motivator. because softball season overlaps with tax season, she leaves the office at 2 pm, five days a week. no one in her firm works more than 35 hours a week.

their conversation sheds light on the history of ai in accounting, the distinction between different types of ai, and the implications for professional ethics and regulatory standards.

“generative ai is different than machine learning, but machine learning has been in the accounting space for a long time,” says mason, the ceo and founder of high rock accounting. “our code of ethics should be considered at every point in time, and we need to understand the tech, review it, and manage it appropriately, making sure that we’re ahead of the regulatory environment and we’re advising on what it looks like for the future of our profession.”
