Most accountants use spreadsheets every day. But what if AI could build the spreadsheet for you in minutes… and then turn it into a fully working app? That’s exactly what I show in this new video. In the example, I built a debt repayment calculator that helps clients see how different strategies (like snowball vs avalanche) affect how quickly they can get out of debt. Here’s what you’ll discover in the video: • How AI can generate a complete Excel model with formulas and calculations in minutes • Why choosing the right AI tool for the job makes a huge difference • How a simple spreadsheet can be transformed into an interactive client app with charts, sliders, and dashboards This is a great example of how accountants can move beyond spreadsheets and start building tools that deliver real advisory value to clients.

It really helps the channel reach more accountants who want to learn how to use AI effectively. And I’m curious… What Excel spreadsheets do you use most in your work today? Tell me in the comments. I may use your ideas in a future video showing how to turn them into apps.

You may have seen a lot of discussion online about Anthropic, Claude, the U.S. government and OpenAI — and not all of it is clear or accurate. Here’s a concise summary of what’s been happening, why it’s significant, and a chance to hear your view. 📌 What triggered the dispute Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) demanded that Anthropic grant unrestricted access to its Claude AI for military use, including lawful purposes that could include domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons deployment. Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, refused, citing ethical guardrails the company has built into its AI — especially prohibitions on mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons without human oversight. When Anthropic stood firm, the Pentagon threatened to cancel a significant contract (≈ $200 million) and label the company a “supply chain risk.” Shortly thereafter, President Trump directed all U.S. federal agencies to stop using Anthropic’s AI technology, citing national security concerns. Anthropic has publicly stated it plans to challenge the “supply chain risk” designation in court and maintain its ethical stance. CEO Amodei characterised his decision not to relent as compatible with defending democratic values — even if it means falling out with government authorities. Meanwhile, OpenAI struck a separate deal with the Pentagon to supply AI for classified military networks, which some commentators believe reflects a different approach to the same set of ethical red lines. 🤔 Why this matters for anyone using AI tools This isn’t just about military contracts — it highlights key tensions in our industry: 1. AI ethics vs. use case pressureCompanies are being pushed to bend their internal safety guardrails in the face of external expectations about how their AI should be used. The Anthropic standoff shows how far a company might go to stick to its principles — and the real consequences when it does. 2. Competition and positioningAnthropic is also promoting easier switching to Claude, even offering tools to import chat histories — part of a broader strategy to attract users amid the controversy.

I have a built a very basic client portal where clients to upload documents and submit support requests. Any Ideas how I can integrate this with QBO so users can see out standing balance and outstanding invoices? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Let me ask you something… What if you could build an interactive financial dashboard for your business, or a client in minutes… not hours? I’ve just recorded a short video showing what this looks like in practice… and why it matters for accountants and bookkeepers who want to deliver better advisory. Here’s what I cover in the video: • What an interactive client dashboard can look like (with real financial insight, not just pretty charts) • How you can turn financial statements into something clients actually understand • Why this kind of output can lead to better client meetings and better decisions If you want to stay ahead of where advisory is heading… watch this now. 👉 Click the link here to book your place on the webinar (where I’ll go into the full step by step).
