This is the exact loop we need in the firm. Every time a reviewer fixes something, the system actually gets smarter instead of just moving on. That’s real leverage. #taxtwitter

⚙️ Behind the build of self-improving tax agents with Codex We co-built Tax AI with @ThriveHoldings around tax prep workflows so when reviewers fix any errors, Codex can trace the failure, improve the system, and test the change before it ships. openai.com/index/building…

The more I watch AI move into tax and accounting, the more I think the real shift is not replacing judgment. It is removing the pile of admin sitting in front of judgment. Clients do not care if a CPA personally chased every missing W-2 or reviewed every payroll notice from scratch. They care that the work is right, fast, and calm. That is where firms can actually win with AI.

Who else in the accounting space is deep down the Claude rabbit hole right now and wants to meet weekly to share what we are doing, learning, and come up with new ideas?

@AmrTawfik160 ElevenLabs voices and honestly they sound way better than I expected. Two hosts named Charlie and Sarah. Charlie is quick and sharp, Sarah asks the questions you actually want answered. Feels like a real show.

My morning commute hit different since I had OpenClaw turn my Twitter feed into a daily podcast. Fresh audio every morning based on what actually happened in my feed overnight. Two AI hosts, three topics, ready before I get in the car. This stuff is genuinely wild.

@mercer70638 Exactly. The boring middle is the opportunity. Every firm has 30–50 tiny manual touches around each return that nobody has mapped because they’re “just how we do it.” AI doesn’t need to replace the preparer to make that workflow meaningfully better.

Exactly right. The edge cases are where the ROI lives. Most firms think they need to automate the entire tax calculation when the real savings come from eliminating the 47 manual touches around each return. Client communications alone can save 3 hours per client per year. Multiply that across your entire book and suddenly you've found next year's capacity without hiring anyone.

#TaxTwitter we don’t need AI to fully automate tax prep yet. The first wins are around the edges: client follow-ups, customized planning tools, client dashboards, workflow automation, onboarding, engagement letters and compliance. That alone can make a firm meaningfully better. I’m excited to see what we can build.

It’s about building better edges around the firm: better education, better client experience, better follow-up, better tools, better reasons for clients to think of you before there’s a problem.

I built a magazine for our CPA firm using Claude and Codex. Physical version for the waiting room. Digital version for clients. It’s called The Lazar Ledger.

Every CPA firm is about to learn the same AI lesson: buying tools isn't the hard part. Building repeatable workflows, controls, and review habits is. The firms that treat AI like staff training will beat the ones treating it like software.

This is what the real AI-in-accounting story looks like. Not ChatGPT writing your emails — your actual client financials accessible inside the tools you're already building with. Digits MCP is the kind of boring-but-important infrastructure that actually changes how firms work.
CPA Practice Advisor@cpapracadvisor

Digits has launched the Digits MCP Server, giving accounting firms, business owners, and finance teams direct access to their financial data inside AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor.- ow.ly/iBsS50YOKGB
