CPA & Consultant for Accounting Firms
I shared 11 job posts from my network this week. Here's what I'm seeing.
Happy Frye-Day.
There's a lot of noise right now about AI replacing accountants. Some of it's worth paying attention to. A lot of it isn't.
But here's what I also did this week: I reposted 11 times on LinkedIn from people in my network who are actively hiring accounting talent. A lot of those posts had multiple openings listed.
That's not a prediction about the future. That's the job board in real time.
The AI reality check
AI is changing things. I've seen it firsthand at Canopy, and in every firm owner conversation I've had this year.
to "how do we use it without breaking what's already working?"
That's a real shift. But here's what hasn't changed: firms still need people who can think, communicate, and close the loop with clients.
The software gets faster. The human judgment part gets more valuable.
Times are uncertain. I get why accountants are anxious. But I'd rather show you what's actually in the market than make predictions about what's coming.
So here's what's actually in the market.
