AI agents do the admin, not your job.

AI is increasingly moving beyond simple chatbots and into AI agents that can carry out multi-step administrative tasks. Firmcheck’s session, AI agents do the admin, not your job, explores how this technology could change the way accounting firms approach routine compliance and practice administration.

Rather than replacing the accountant, the focus is on using AI to take care of repetitive, process driven work while professionals retain responsibility for judgement, client relationships and higher value advisory work.

Potential applications for accounting practices include:

• Automating repetitive administration, reducing the amount of manual work required from teams.

• Handling multi-step workflows, rather than simply generating individual pieces of content.

• Reducing compliance administration, allowing professionals to spend more time reviewing exceptions and making decisions.

• Freeing up team capacity, particularly where administrative workloads are growing alongside the client base.

• Keeping humans in control, with accountants overseeing outputs and handling tasks where professional judgement is required.

For firms considering AI adoption, the important question is therefore not simply whether AI can perform a task, but which processes are suitable for automation and where human oversight remains essential.

Firmcheck’s session explores this changing role of AI agents and what it could mean for the future of accounting practice administration.
