241 ⎸ The State of Virtual Bookkeeping Industry with Alyssa

I'm joined in person by my biz bestie Alyssa Lang of Workflow Queen, and we are SO pumped to talk about the return of the Virtual Bookkeeper Industry Survey round two, baby! We're going bigger, better, and more intentional this time around, with a goal of 2,500 responses, a charity donation tied to Make-A-Wish Foundation, and a brand new interactive data bot that lets you dig into the results yourself. Oh, and we may have gone down a rabbit hole or two about AI, pricing, and what it actually means for running a boutique firm. You're welcome. In this episode you’ll hear: • A breakdown of the survey format, what questions changed from last year, how this data compounds over time, and why your honest answers help the whole industry • How AI should actually be affecting your pricing • How people are (and aren't) implementing AI in their firms, and the offshoring and automation data we're dying to dig into • The trust recession around AI, what it means for your client relationships Resources mentioned in this episode: • TAKE the Survey: https://www.ambitiousbookkeeper.com/s... • Or take it Here: https://www.workflowqueen.com/survey • Last Year’s Results:    • 206 | 2025 The State of Virtual Bookkeepin...   Connect with Alyssa 🌐 Website: workflowqueen.com (http://workflowqueen.com/) 📱 IG: @workflowqueen (  / workflowqueen  ) 🎙️ Podcast: Conquering Workflows & Systems with the Workflow Queen (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...)
