Will AI actually take accountants’ jobs—or just change what their work looks like? Blake and David unpack the gap between AI hype and reality, from a LinkedIn challenge that found zero accountants replaced by AI to how firms like PwC and EY are shifting strategy. They also explore probabilistic audit opinions, AI agents in accounting workflows, and what professionals can do now to stay ahead.SponsorsOnPay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/onpayUNC - http://accountingpodcast.promo/uncChapters(00:00) - TAP 479(02:27) - Auditor Karaoke Protest(03:58) - Baby Where My Audit(07:14) - Reactions and Afroman(10:19) - Probabilistic Audit Opinions(14:57) - BDO Lawsuit and Liability(18:52) - Super Micro Fraud Signals(24:19) - Deterministic AI Checklists(30:16) - Checklist Driven AI Agents(31:28) - How LLMs Differ From Brains(33:00) - Puzzle Functions And Guardrails(36:06) - Prompting For Clarifying Questions(36:48) - UNC MAcc Sponsor Break(38:30) - PwC Goes AI First(41:46) - EY Bets On CPA Talent(43:27) - AI Exposure Index Reality Check(47:40) - Will Accounting Jobs Disappear(50:23) - Coan Paradox And Rising Standards(52:43) - AI As A Career Upskill(55:20) - Who Is Losing Work To AI(56:23) - Livestream Chat And Wrap Up Show NotesMassachusetts Auditor DiZoglio Performs "Baby Where the Hell Is My Audit" Parodyhttps://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/16/metro/diana-dizoglio-auditor-legislature-audit-democrats/ Afroman Wins Defamation Lawsuit Filed by Ohio Police Officershttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/afroman-wins-lawsuit-ohio-police-raid-music-videos/ Would You Take a Probabilistic Audit Opinion?https://www.accountingtoday.com/opinion/would-you-take-a-probabilistic-audit-opinion BDO Faces Investor Lawsuit That Could Impact Other Firmshttps://www.accountingtoday.com/news/bdo-faces-investor-lawsuit-that-could-impact-other-firms Super Micro Computer Co-Founder Charged With Smuggling Nvidia AI Chips to Chinahttps://www.cnn.com/2026/03/19/politics/super-micro-computer-founder-charged-ai-chips-china Puzzle Launches AI Close for Accountants https://puzzle.io/blog/puzzle-accounting-ai PwC CEO: You Cannot Opt Out of AIhttps://www.accountingtoday.com/news/pwc-ceo-you-cannot-opt-out-of-ai EY Doubles CPA Exam Bonus to $10K https://www.accountingtoday.com/news/ey-doubles-cpa-exam-bonus-to-10k Anthropic AI Labor Market Impacts Report https://www.anthropic.com/research/labor-market-impacts Microsoft AI Chief Gives It 18 Months for All White-Collar Work to Be Automatedhttps://fortune.com/2026/02/13/when-will-ai-kill-white-collar-office-jobs-18-months-microsoft-mustafa-suleyman/ Only 14% of UK Finance Leaders See Traditional Accounting Skills as Valuable for Next Generationhttps://www.theglobalrecruiter.com/only-14-per-cent-of-finance-leaders-see-traditional-accounting-skills-as-valuable-for-next-generation/ Accounting and Tax Staff Worry AI Threatens Jobshttps://www.accountingtoday.com/news/accounting-and-tax-employees-feel-ai-threatens-job-prospects AI's First Substitution: Freelancers (Ramp Economics Lab) https://ramp.com/velocity/ai-labor-market-impact-freelancers Record Number of Companies Are Ditching Old CEOs for Younger, Less Experienced Executives https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fired-record-number-companies-ditching-152914066.htmlNeed CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!
