I had a FANTASTIC conversation with the brilliant Marie Speakman, an experienced accountant with a passion for AI, during one of my recent shows!
Marie shared her inspiring journey from managing credit control and working her way up to becoming a European CFO.
After establishing and growing her own accountancy practice to over 150 clients, she sold the practice and transitioned into consulting for small businesses, focusing on streamlining systems.
Her key takeaway?
She’s all about harnessing the power of AI to transform bookkeeping and accounting processes. Her latest project, Jack the AI Bookkeeper, is 10xing bookkeeping efficiency and setting new standards in the industry.
Marie explained:
I asked her, “What was your biggest challenge when setting up your own practice?”
Her response? Overcoming the self-doubt of starting her own business in a field dominated by established accountants. But she pushed through, grew her client base, and became a true partner in their business growth.
This chat with Marie was a powerful reminder that embracing change and new technologies like AI can help us work smarter, not harder. If you haven’t explored AI in your business yet, it’s time to start!
✨ Show Updates: Don't forget—I'll be discussing more exciting topics with other industry experts every Monday! And of course, keep an eye out for more AI-focused insights from Marie and her projects with Jack the AI Bookkeeper.
