still, burnett is unequivocal that ai must be handled carefully. he cautions that tools like chatgpt amplify the user’s competence—or lack thereof. “chatgpt in the hands of someone without proper experience and training is like handing a loaded gun to a monkey,” burnett says, underscoring the professional liability risks of blind reliance. read more →

as we have learned so far, as an accountant, you must work diligently to provide advice that is not only timely but also relevant and usable. it’s an absolute must. after all, advice that arrives too late to be useful, does not fit the client’s unique situation, or is overly complicated to put into practice, simply isn’t effective, no matter how well-meaning it may be.

yet even when advice meets all these criteria, i.e., timeliness, relevance, and usability, there still remains a hidden pitfall that can quietly undermine its value.

with jean caragher
for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

when lou grassi started his firm at age 24, he couldn’t afford to pay himself. there was no client base, no safety net, and no guarantee it would work.

more than four decades later, grassi is the 56th largest accounting firm in the u.s., with $146.5 million in revenue, seven offices, 58 partners, and more than 560 employees. and yet, as grassi tells host jean caragher on gear up for growth, the most important lessons from that journey have very little to do with size.
