"AI in Accounting: Are We Keeping Up?" 🔥

Is AI actually changing accounting — or just changing the conversation around it?

Welcome to the very first episode of Too Hot to Reconcile, the show where the questions get hotter and so do the wings. Hosts Wayne Findlay (CEO & Founder, The Back Room Offshoring) and Scott Findlay (Director & Co-Founder, The Back Room Offshoring) sit down with Glen Martyn, Director of PKF Hamilton, for a straight-talking look at where AI and accounting really stand today.

Here's the twist: as the topics heat up, so do the chicken wings. Every guest takes on progressively spicier wings while tackling the industry's hottest questions — so the bigger the topic, the bigger the burn. 🌶️ No fluff, no hype, just honest takes from people doing the work (with the occasional watering eye).

In this episode, they dig into the real confusion swirling around AI in the accounting world — what firms think it means, what it actually means, and why there's still a gap between the two. They get into whether client needs are genuinely shifting in the age of AI, or whether accountants are still playing catch-up. And they explore one of the biggest opportunities flying under the radar right now: capacity-driven advisory — what it is, why it matters, and how firms can move into that space.

If you work in accounting and you're trying to make sense of what AI means for your firm and your clients, grab a glass of milk and settle in. This one's worth your time. 🔥
