How to build the right tech stack to maximise practice success
Ever heard the term “tech stack” thrown around online or in industry chats? This panel discussion dives deep into what it means and how it can be used to supercharge your practice’s growth, no matter its size.
This CPD-accredited webinar recording covers:
- how the right technology can improve productivity
- predictions on the practice of the future
- unlocking efficiency with AI-powered tools
- where and how FreeAgent can fit in your ecosystem
“If you think you've chosen a tech stack now and will be using the same one in five years, you've probably done it wrong. Your tech stack should always be evolving because technology and software are constantly evolving. So, there's no such thing as doing it wrong.” - Johann Goree (Engager.app)
Beyond the buzz: how accountants and bookkeepers can leverage AI
Just like spreadsheets changed the industry in the 1980s, AI is set to transform some of accounting and bookkeeping’s most time-consuming tasks. So what does an AI-powered future look like for accountants and bookkeepers?
This CPD-accredited webinar includes:
- an expert-led panel discussion on the benefits of AI
- insights on responsible AI and use cases
- real-life examples of AI in accounting
“Are you using AI because it's part of your workflow and it’s enhancing that workflow, or are you using it as some shiny new tool, just because everyone is talking about it and you feel inclined to have to use it?” - Jordan Vickery (Digital Accountancy Show)
