About this episode
Blake and David discuss the tax implications for World Cup players, the impact of AI on accounting, and the realities of remote work.
What do World Cup taxes, AI-built accounting tools, and remote work have in common? In this episode, Blake and David unpack how tax rules hit global athletes and sports bettors, why Xero’s new AI products signal a shift toward accountants building their own software, and where firms still face risk with audit standards, cybersecurity, and homegrown apps. You’ll also hear what’s really happening with remote work and a listener correction on Trump accounts.
