As small businesses and startups demand real-time data, the standard &quot;wait two weeks for a black-and-white P&amp;amp;L&quot; model is becoming obsolete. In this episode of Growing Your Firm, host David Cristello sits down with Jeff Seibert, co-founder and CEO of Digits and former Head of Consumer Product at Twitter (now X). Jeff reveals why he spent over five years and $100M in venture capital to rebuild accounting software from the ground up to be AI-native. Whether you’re a firm owner looking to scale or a tech-forward CPA, this conversation explores how &quot;Agentic Accounting&quot; is moving the profession from manual data entry to high-level advisory. In this episode, we discuss: The Genesis of Digits: How Jeff’s experience scaling Twitter exposed the massive data gap between engineering and finance. What is an Agentic General Ledger? Moving beyond &quot;bolt-on&quot; AI to a vector-graph data model where the intelligence is baked into the ledger itself. Automating the Month-End Close: Why Jeff predicts 90% of bookkeeping, reconciliation, and schedules will be automated by the end of 2026. Classification Accuracy: Why LLMs (like ChatGPT) fail at bookkeeping and how Digits achieved 97% accuracy using custom predictive models. The Future of Firm Competition: Why the gap between AI-adopting firms and traditional firms will create a &quot;margin opportunity&quot; that reshapes the industry. Jeff’s Top AI Tools for Founders: Insights into Whispr Flow (for voice dictation) and Granola (for frictionless meeting notes). &amp;nbsp; Growing Your Firm | Strategies for Accountants, CPA's, Bookkeepers , and Tax Professionals https://jetpackworkflow.com/growing-your-firm-podcast/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/40987205/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/40987205
