In this episode of Prosperity On the Horizon, the focus is on the evolving role of bookkeeping in the age of AI. The host addresses common fears about AI replacing jobs and emphasizes that technology is a tool for enhancing efficiency and strategic value, not a threat. The episode explores the shortcomings of hourly billing for bookkeeping, advocating instead for value pricing based on outcomes. It highlights the benefits of using technology and AI to deliver more accurate, timely, and insightful financial services. Listeners are encouraged to seek bookkeepers who offer strategic support and deliver high-value outcomes rather than just compliance. The episode wraps up by stressing the importance of understanding the impact a bookkeeper can have on a business and offers a free business health check to help listeners evaluate their needs.
