Stop reading about AI. Come build it.
A hands-on Claude workshop for accountants and bookkeepers. Laptop open the whole time, and three things you keep by the time you walk out.
All 50 seats went in four hours. The waitlist is open on Luma.
Ping is capturing the session so you can build instead of take notes.
This workshop is free because these companies paid for it.
Thank you to Quanto, Intuit QuickBooks, Float, Double, Ignition and Artiffex.

Toronto was stop one and it sold out in four hours. Pick your city, that is how we choose stop two.
The Promise
Built for beginners. You will not watch a demo, you will build the thing yourself, with people on the floor to get you unstuck.
Real humans on the floor getting you unstuck, live. Nobody sits there lost.
Taught by people running a real firm, not a vendor keynote.
What You Build
Three things, on supplied sample data. You keep all of them.
01 · Project
Security answered properly, Claude set up the right way, and your firm's own documents behind it.
02 · Skill
A Skill you built yourself that runs a job you do by hand today, and output that looks like something you'd send.
03 · Skill
The revenue already sitting in work you have, with the digging done for you.
The Day
Thursday, September 17, 2026. Doors 9:00 AM, program 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Optional open floor until 3:00 PM.
Coffee, and a hand getting set up if you want it. Try to be here by 9:30. There's a welcome desk on the 19th floor and 50 of us arriving at once, so the extra few minutes really help.
We start right on 10:00, so grab your coffee before then.
Security first, because it's the question every client asks. Then getting Claude set up properly.
Take something you already do by hand, do it once with Claude, then save it as a Skill you can run again. Including making the output look like something you'd actually send.
Provided by Intuit QuickBooks. Eat, compare notes, keep building if you want to.
Where the new revenue is hiding in work you already have, and what advisory looks like when the digging is done for you.
What to do with this back at your desk, and the card you fill in before you leave.
The program ends at 2:00, but you should stay. Mike and Anderson are up front for questions, the sponsors hang around at their tables, and there is a prize draw at 2:30. Room's ours until 3:00.
Lunch, snacks, and swag are provided by Intuit QuickBooks.
You do not need to bring any of your own firm or client documents. Everything you build with is supplied, so nothing confidential leaves your office.
Sold out
All 50 seats are gone. Join the waitlist on Luma and we'll release seats by hand as people cancel.
Who It's For
This is for people who want to actually use AI back at their firm. If you only want to watch, this is not for you.

Where it goes
Everything below is the same four steps: do it once with Claude, check the output, save it as a Skill, run it forever. Once you've done that three times, this is the kind of thing it starts eating.
Client communication, cleanup and close, advisory, and the business of your firm.
Client communication
Draft the month-end commentary, three bullets on what actually changed and what to do about it, in your firm's voice, straight off the P&L.
Chase missing year-end documents without writing the same email for the fortieth time.
Turn a CRA letter into plain English, plus a recommended response.
Cleanup and close
Categorize a messy statement and have it flag what it isn't sure about, instead of quietly guessing.
Catch the things that quietly cost you: duplicate charges, personal spending on the business card, equipment expensed instead of capitalized, supplier refunds booked as revenue.
Turn "how we actually do the close" into a written SOP the whole team follows.
Advisory, and the business of your firm
Spot the seasonal cash gap in a client's year, and the financing conversation with a fee attached to it.
Find which clients are underpriced against the hours you actually spend on them.
Walk into a client meeting with the five questions their numbers say you should be asking.
And so... so much more. This is scratching the surface.

Sold out
The waitlist runs through Luma, same form, same questions. People do cancel, and we release those seats by hand as they open. Saturday, September 12 is the hard cutoff, because the full attendee list goes to Intuit building security on September 14 and nobody can be added after that.
Photography and filming are conditions of attendance. The full media terms are at the bottom of this page and appear again during registration.
Registration includes an optional box to share your name, firm and email with our sponsors, who paid for your seat. It is genuinely optional and the day is identical either way.
