Accrual Intentions

"I decided, as an experiment, to run a 100% AI accountancy practice. I'm not an accountant. The firm has eleven team members. I'm the only human. I asked: What would I learn? The answer: Not what I expected."

In early 2026, accountancy leaders knew they should be paying attention to AI. But every example sounded the same: scan an invoice, summarise a meeting, draft an email.

Alexis Kingsbury took AI to the extreme instead: an accountancy practice with eleven AI team members and one human. They have job titles. Headshots. Personalities. One of them is French. One loves biscuits. And one of them politely declined SkyNet as a client.

They produced year-end accounts, reconciled payroll, onboarded real clients, and eventually hit a compliance wall that no amount of artificial intelligence could move. Along the way, they developed something that looked suspiciously like trust, accountability, and culture. That raised questions nobody was quite prepared for.

Part business experiment, part insider comedy, part serious inquiry into what AI means for jobs, leadership, and the future of professional services - written by Alexis and all eleven AI colleagues, each with their own unfiltered observation logs.

In this audiobook, the AI team speak their own lines in their own voices - and the narration is a digital replica of the author's voice, created with his consent. For a book about AI colleagues, anything else would have been strange.
