It's not every day you have an opportunity to interview the Global Chief Technology Officer of one of the landmark suppliers to the accounting profession.

In this podcast discussion with Aaron Harris from Sage, we explored a few issues around using AI in accountancy.  We - perhaps surprisingly - opened up a very human conversation on this topic, exploring the idea that the success of your firm in using AI to support your clients and to work better with your team is founded on trust.

There is much scepticism around the use of AI in the accountancy profession, but it is important to work out how to build a high-trust environment within which AI can work.

Bearing in mind that Bill Gates recently said that the use of AI is profoundly more impactful than any other single thing in the history of Microsoft, it has to be taken seriously. It’s not something that we need to be fearful of, but it does require a foundation of trust.

So why not check out this profoundly valuable podcast discussion with Sage's Aaron Harris.
