About
Accountants putting AI to work
AI Lab for Accountants is a working group of accountants using AI to save real hours, raise the level of service they give clients, and modernize how their firms work.
Built for CPAs, EAs, bookkeepers, and firm owners in tax, bookkeeping, or advisory, whether they are just starting with AI or already building with it.
Membership: $29/month, or $24/seat for teams. The Weekly Call, the weekly Member Brief, Slack, the Tool Safety Index, and the ALFA GitHub.
What happens in ALFA
The Weekly Call
Every Wednesday at 2 PM Eastern. Members bring what they are building or stuck on, and the group works through it live.
The ALFA GitHub
Private repos of the tools and skills we build in ALFA, ready to adapt for your firm.
Slack
The private community between calls: help when you are stuck, and proof of what other firms shipped.
Who runs it
Run by CPAs Rebecca Driscoll and Charlie Barmore.
Charlie Barmore, CPA, CFE, CVA
Helps firms adopt AI, alongside his own tax and advisory practice, Charles J Barmore CPA PC. Co-hosts the Real Firms podcast.
The short story
Rebecca started AI Lab for Accountants because of what she kept seeing in the profession: the burnout, the workload, the people who love this work being worn down by it. Accountants who actually use AI, rather than collect ideas about it, get real time back. Charlie joined to co-lead it as the practitioner-builder: a CPA using Claude and Claude Code in his own practice and building real tools with it.
ALFA is a room of practicing accountants. It is not open to vendors, recruiters, or sales. Everything in it is built to be defensible: AI is never presented as a source of law, and client data never goes anywhere the firm cannot stand behind.
