What started as a podcast at Digits is now something much bigger than us. 🌱 Today, we’re proud to help launch the AI Native Accounting Foundation as an independent nonprofit initiative, led by @KaceeJ and Bebe Kim.

Digits is honored to serve as the founding sponsor. But this foundation belongs to the profession. 👉 Nominations are now open for the first-ever AI Native Accounting Awards. If you know a trailblazing practitioner or firm leading the way, nominate them. We’re just getting started. 🚀 globenewswire.com/news-release/2…
