New Webinar: DIY Claude Agents vs. Accounting Agents August 13, 2026 10:00 AM 📆 RSVP HERE: https://lnkd.in/eRtviRap

AI agents are no longer a future concept; accounting firms are building and running them today. Yet there's a critical difference between a DIY agent assembled on your own and one purpose-built for how accountants work. Blake and Sasha explore both approaches: what DIY agents can accomplish using Claude and Cowork, where they fall short, and what purpose-built agents make possible that DIY simply cannot. You'll walk away with a clear framework for deciding which approach fits your firm and what to do next.
