Stop Asking How Many Hours AI Will Save You
An Hour Saved Isn't an Hour Earned
Most firms are pointing AI at the wrong work, and it's quietly making them slower. In this session, Blake Oliver shows you where AI actually moves the needle in your firm: the bottleneck where work waits.
What You'll Learn:
- Why "hours saved" is the wrong way to measure AI ROI, and the throughput lens that replaces it
- The 40-year-old manufacturing principle that tells you exactly where to point AI first
- How to find the real bottleneck in your firm (usually your clients or your own review queue, not your team)
- The three waves of AI in accounting and where the tools you already know actually fit
- What you'll still get paid for once compliance and data entry drop to zero

Don't Just Take Our Word for It
"Client Hub was the missing piece to bring all client interaction in one location -- it is a real game changer for our firm!"
"Client Hub is SO easy to set up and tailor is to your business. I highly recommend spending the time to set up your business how you want it, and having your clients download the app first meeting. This thing not only made my life easier, it shows my clients that we are a tech company and that we truly stay on top of our game."
"Everything is in one place, saving time and frustration. Client Hub is an idea whose time has come!"
