Microsoft just laid off 6,000 people—its biggest round of job cuts since early 2023.Not because of poor performance (they posted strong earnings). But because AI is already replacing tasks once done by humans. Let that sink in. 🧠 AI tools like Copilot are now writing 20–30% of Microsoft’s code. Whole layers of management are being trimmed. And this is just the beginning. Why This Matters for Accountants & Bookkeepers You might think: “That’s tech, not accounting.”But the pattern is clear: Repetitive, rules-based work is being automated. And that includes traditional bookkeeping and compliance-focused accounting. ❌ Those who ignore AI are at risk. ✅ Those who embrace it will unlock huge opportunities. In fact, the professionals who understand how to use AI will become far more valuable—not less. This isn’t about panic. It’s about preparing. Stay curious. Stay adaptable. And stay ahead. 💬 What’s one thing you’ve done this month to build your AI skills? Let’s inspire each other 👇
