How it works

A week at ALFA

You don't need to keep up with every new tool. Start with something you want to improve in your work, and pick it up wherever it fits your week.

  1. Wednesday

    The Weekly Call

    An hour, open floor. Members show what they tried, the room asks how, and someone usually has a better way. Every other week is a beginner call.

  2. All week

    Slack

    Ask when you're stuck and get an answer from someone who already ran it in their own practice. Good questions feed the next call.

  3. Every Friday

    The Member Brief

    One email with the AI news that touches tax and accounting work, and what came out of that week's call.

  4. Any time

    Courses and the Library

    Step-by-step courses, plus guides, templates and prompts for the task in front of you.
