Miles Masterclass

Expectation: A highly serious, intense Masterclass on AI and visual architecture. 🧐 Reality: Mike Parkinson balancing absolute brilliance with a delightful sense of humor behind the cameras! 🎬 Behind the outtakes, Mike dropped absolute gold on how to turn confusing data into "billion-dollar" graphics. We cannot wait to show you the final, Netflix-level cut... but for now, enjoy the bloopers! 🍿✨

AI is a powerful co-counsel, but without a framework, it’s just a liability. ⚖️🛑 When Jeff Howell stepped into the studio, we knew we were tackling one of the most critical conversations in the legal profession right now. It’s not about if attorneys should use AI - it’s about how to do it without tripping over confidentiality rules and third-party vendor risks. In this upcoming Masterclass, Jeff breaks down the exact frameworks firms need to turn AI into leverage rather than exposure. As he perfectly put it: "AI isn't the problem. Misunderstanding how it fits into legal obligations is." Thank you for an incredible day of filming, Jeff! 🎬💡

"Computer says yes”... but should you actually listen? 🤔💻 The numbers are fast, but the governance is... complicated.

They dive into the ultimate boardroom nightmare: What happens if your AI hallucinates a profit? 😵💫📈 Governance is the only thing standing between "AI Efficiency" and a "Wait, where did that number come from?" crisis. This podcast explores how professional judgment is the only way to peek inside the machine's black box and why your new role is to lead the systems, not just run the numbers. 🚀 Catch the full conversation before the bots take over the comments! 👇Link in comments. #AccountingEvolution #AIGovernance #FinanceLeadership #MilesMasterclass

Sound familiar? Audits eating up more time than they should. AI on the agenda, but nowhere in the workflow. Tools that exist but no one's sure how to use them. "AI-ready" stopped being a 2030 goal. It's the 2026 requirement. Firms still running on manual workflows aren't just losing time - they're losing ground to the ones who aren't. At Miles Masterclass, we've cut through the noise and built masterclasses that actually answer the question your team is already asking: where do I even start? Microsoft Copilot. AI-Empowered Auditing. AI Agents in Accounting and a growing library built for practitioners like you. Start with one masterclass. The rest follows → milesmasterclass.com #AIinAccounting #MilesMasterclass #AccountingFirms #CPE #FutureOfAccounting

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. 🎰 Not this time. Because the conversations at EVOLVE won’t stay in the room - they show up later…in how your workflows run, how your teams interact with AI, and how decisions get made when AI is embedded into everyday accounting work. Which raises a more important question: Are you executing on AI or still watching from the sidelines? Let’s be honest - most firms aren’t short on curiosity. They’re short on clarity. On structure. On what to actually do next. That’s the gap we’ve been focused on closing at Miles Masterclass - a cinematic learning platform designed to help accounting teams actually apply AI across audit, tax, and advisory workflows (while earning CPE). Our CEO, Varun Jain, CPA, CMA, and CGO, Rohan Singhai, will be at EVOLVE (May 3–6). If you’re there, come find us at Booth 213. Just a real conversation on how firms are moving from AI-curious → AI-ready - and what that actually looks like in practice. 📍 Las Vegas | May 3–6 | Booth 213 Tag a leader who shouldn’t leave Vegas without this conversation 👇 #EVOLVE2026 #AIinAccounting #CPE #MilesMasterclass #AccountingFirms

🚀 Accounting isn’t what you think it is. Most people still picture accounting as narrow and disconnected. In the latest Miles AI in Accounting Podcast, Rohini Sripada and Kendale King, CPA 💵 flip the script, exploring a high-stakes reality where CPAs operate at the intersection of Hollywood, crypto, and digital assets. Why this episode is a must-listen: Modern CPAs are moving beyond the ledger to transform volatile "viral revenue" into scalable, sustainable enterprises. By mastering the nuances of entertainment contracts and crypto data, these professionals prove that technical accuracy is just the baseline. The real value lies in their ability to bring order to chaos - transforming raw income into a legitimate business through systems, structure, and strategic clarity. The Takeaway: Having revenue isn’t the same as having a business. Real growth requires a CPA who understands the "why" behind the numbers. If you’re looking to specialize or transition into high-impact advisory, this podcast is your roadmap for a future-ready career. 🎧 Listen & earn CPE credits (link in comments). #Accounting #CPA #CreatorEconomy #EntertainmentAccounting #CryptoAccounting #Advisory #CPE #Podcast
