Jin W. Chang shared thisICYMI: spent some time at the NYSE last week talking about what agentic AI means for the CPA profession. With Remy Blaire on FINTECH.TV's Market Movers: This work demands more than speed. Audit and advisory firms facilitate trust between public companies and their stakeholders. Traceability, auditability, and quality of assurance have to come first. https://lnkd.in/gtftjeHC With TheCUBE + NYSE Wired for their AI Agent Conference: Why the top firms are leaning into agentic AI. The supply of practitioners isn't keeping up with rising demand and complexity, and firms are building their operating models for the next two decades around that reality. https://lnkd.in/ga5imyJw Doing more with less is no longer a nice-to-have for CPA firms. It's a must-have. And the practitioners building careers in this new model are going to do the best work of their careers. Thanks to Remy and the teams at Fintech TV and theCUBE.

Jin W. Chang reposted thisJin W. Chang reposted thisWithin 2 years, 40% of enterprise applications are expected to be powered by agents. Auditors are tasked with ensuring those agents do not compromise the compliance posture of their customers without slowing down the pace of adoption. In order to do this, they will need the right tools. Fieldguide is the first audit platform to support AIUC-1 certifications. In addition, Fieldguide’s own Field Agents are now AIUC-1 certified. This means auditors can now certify agents thoroughly, securely and efficiently. Congratulations to the entire Fieldguide team for your contribution to scaling trust in AI agents and Schellman for the continued collaboration.

Jin W. Chang reposted thisJin W. Chang reposted thisWe’re excited to share that LSL has selected Fieldguide to help transform our financial audit delivery with an AI-powered platform. “Partnering with Fieldguide represents an important step forward in how we deliver for our clients and support our teams,” said LSL Managing Partner Bryan Gruber, CPA. “We don’t see AI as an efficiency tool; we see it as a way to rethink the audit workflow for both our team and our clients.” This is about more than technology—it's about rethinking how audits work for our team and for the clients we serve.

Jin W. Chang reacted on thisJin W. Chang reacted on thisWe’ve agreed to a partnership with SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API. Effective today, we are: 1) Doubling Claude Code’s 5-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, and Team plans; 2) Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and 3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models. Our agreement with SpaceX means we will use all the compute capacity at their Colossus 1 data center. This will give us over 300 megawatts of additional capacity to deploy within the month.

Foundry Practice Advisors
Vendor Oversight and Decision Fatigue Most practice owners don’t realize how much energy goes into managing vendors. IT providers. Software platforms. Payment systems. Phone solutions. Marketing firms. Each one sounds confident. Each one claims urgency. Over time, this creates decision fatigue and rising costs without clear accountability. Foundry provides vendor oversight that helps owners: • Evaluate vendors objectively • Understand real costs and tradeoffs • Reduce noise and pressure • Keep decisions aligned with practice goals The value isn’t saying no to everything. It’s knowing what actually matters. If vendor overload feels familiar, this article explores why it’s more costly than it appears: 👉 Vendor Overload: How Too Many “Helpful” Tools Hurt Private Practices - https://lnkd.in/eCgVYtFR

Plaid's recent $8 billion valuation through employee share sales signals a notable 31% increase from last year, reflecting a growing trend in fintech around using share liquidity as a strategic tool. This practice isn’t just about numbers—it plays a crucial role in employee retention and tax optimization, helping companies stay competitive in attracting and retaining top talent. While Plaid’s current valuation remains below its 2021 peak, this strategic move highlights how private firms are evolving their capital and talent management approaches. Key insights: 1. Employee share sales provide financial flexibility and motivation for employees. 2. Share liquidity strategies can influence company valuations and investor perceptions. 3. This trend may shape how fintech companies structure growth and retention plans going forward. How do you see employee share liquidity impacting fintech innovation and talent management in the next few years? #artificialintelligence #businessautomation #productivity
