Something remarkable happened recently. I asked my AI employee to build a website for Finite Group, and within minutes, I was looking at a fully designed, professional landing page. No designers. No developers. No weeks of back-and-forth revisions. Just me and my AI colleague, getting things done.
If that sounds like science fiction, I understand. A year ago, I might have thought the same thing. But we are living in a different world now, and this is how we are moving into the AI era.
The New Reality of Work
As accountants and business advisors, we spend our days helping clients navigate change. We guide them through tax regulations, business structures, and growth strategies. But the biggest change happening right now is not in the tax code. It is in how work itself gets done.
I have been running Finite Group for years, and I have seen plenty of technological shifts. Cloud accounting. Automated bank feeds. Digital tax lodgement. Each one made us more efficient. But AI is different. AI does not just automate a task. It thinks. It creates. It solves problems.
AI does not just automate a task. It thinks. It creates. It solves problems. That is the fundamental shift we are experiencing right now.
My Experience with an AI Employee
Let me tell you exactly what happened. I use a platform called MyAgentive, which gives me what I can only describe as an AI employee. It runs on my own computer, has access to my tools and files, and can perform real tasks on my behalf.
I said: "Create me a test Cloudflare page about my business."
Within minutes, my AI employee had:
- Retrieved my business details from its memory of our previous conversations
- Written complete HTML and CSS for a professional landing page
- Created sections for our services, our differentiators, and contact information
- Deployed it live to the internet
- Given me the URL to view it
Then I asked for a blog section with a navigation menu. Done. I asked for this very article about my AI employee experience. Done.
The website you are reading this on was created entirely by AI, based on my instructions.
What This Means for Business
I am not sharing this to show off or to make anyone feel threatened. I am sharing this because every business owner needs to understand what is now possible.
Speed That Changes Everything
Tasks that used to take days or weeks now take minutes. That website? In the old world, I would have briefed a designer, waited for mockups, given feedback, waited for revisions, then briefed a developer, waited for implementation, tested, revised again. Weeks of elapsed time. Thousands of dollars.
With AI, the entire cycle happens in a conversation.
Democratisation of Capabilities
Small businesses can now access capabilities that were previously only available to large corporations with big budgets. You do not need a full-time developer. You do not need an in-house designer. You need clear thinking about what you want, and an AI that can execute.
Focus on What Matters
When routine tasks become instant, you can focus on what actually matters. For us at Finite Group, that means more time understanding our clients' businesses, more time on strategic advice, more time building relationships. The AI handles the execution; we provide the wisdom.
"The AI handles the execution; we provide the wisdom. That is the partnership that defines this new era."
Moving Forward Together
Some people fear AI will replace them. I understand that fear. But I see something different. AI is a tool, like every other tool humanity has created. The calculator did not replace accountants; it made us more valuable. Cloud computing did not replace businesses; it made them more capable.
AI will not replace people who learn to work with it. It will replace people who refuse to.
At Finite Group, we are embracing this change because it is who we are. We have always been about finding better ways to serve our clients, cutting through jargon, and delivering real results. AI is simply the latest and most powerful tool in that mission.
Your Turn
If you are a business owner reading this, I have one piece of advice: start experimenting. You do not need to understand how AI works technically. You just need to be willing to try it.
Ask yourself: What tasks in my business are repetitive? What would I do if I had an extra team member who could work instantly? What have I been putting off because I lack the expertise?
Those are your opportunities.
We are moving into the AI era whether we choose to or not. The only question is whether you will move with it, or watch from the sidelines.
I know which choice I have made. This website is proof of it.
If you want to discuss how AI and technology can transform your business, or if you just want to talk about the future of work, I would love to hear from you. That is what we do at Finite Group: we help businesses navigate change.
