Practical AI for Bookkeepers

About Course

Created in partnership with Prosaic, this self-paced online course is designed to give Bookkeepers a practical, plain-English understanding of Artificial Intelligence and its real-world applications. No hype. No jargon. Just clear insights into what AI is (and isn’t), how it’s already influencing your software, and where it can help you save time – without replacing your judgment or ethics.

Through four concise modules, you’ll explore the key opportunities and limitations of AI in bookkeeping, learn how to use AI tools responsibly, and create a personalised AI Use Policy to set boundaries with clients and contractors.

Whether you’re AI-curious, slightly sceptical, or ready to start experimenting, this course is built to give you confidence – not just competence – in using AI as a support tool in your practice.
