About Us

The newsletter that should have existed five years ago.

Most AI coverage is written for people who build AI. This newsletter is for people who use it.

Who this is for.

The accounting profession — CPAs, advisory and CAS pros, bookkeepers, EAs, firm administrators, controllers — deciding what tools to adopt, what to ignore, and what to put off until next year.

What we cover.

The accounting industry is in a genuine transition. AI tools are showing up in tax research, document review, client onboarding, audit sampling, and general ledger reconciliation. Count On AI covers what matters.

Who writes it.

Quinn Ashford spent more than 20 years in IT inside accounting firms — public CPA shops, advisory practices, and bookkeeping operations. Not as a CPA — as the person watching practitioners work. That is the perspective Count On AI brings to every issue.

What each issue covers.

One main story in depth, a few quick-hit items, a tool spotlight (what works, where it fails, what it costs), the Claude Column, and one thing you can act on before the next issue lands.

Read it before you need it.

AI tools are moving fast. A weekly briefing keeps you current without requiring you to monitor every trade publication and vendor announcement yourself.
