The accounting industry just split into two permanent classes. Microsoft's research involving 31,000 workers reveals that only 9% of practices qualify as "Frontier Firms"—and the gap is accelerating.

While most firms debate whether AI will replace accountants, they're missing the real revolution happening right under their noses. This isn't about automation—it's about a fundamental reimagining of what an accounting practice can be.

Here's what the data reveals: Frontier Firms aren't just more profitable—they're more optimistic, more capable of taking on new work, and significantly less worried about AI taking their jobs. They've cracked a code that others are still trying to understand.

Join us and Microsoft as we reveal the contrarian insights behind this transformation. We'll challenge conventional wisdom about AI adoption and share the provocative frameworks that separate industry leaders from everyone else.

The firms waiting for 'perfect' AI solutions have already lost to firms using 'good enough' AI strategically.

Register now—because the future belongs to those who see what others miss.
