Bill Sorensen has spent 20 years in the accounting industry working across technology hosting, cybersecurity and AI implementation. He advises mid-market accounting firms on how to adopt both protective measures and AI tools in ways that move real work through the organization.

Bill brings an operational lens that most AI conversations miss. He is less interested in which tools firms are buying and more focused on where work gets stuck. His argument is direct: AI success is not about adoption metrics or license counts. It is about throughput and the ability to get finished work out the door faster.

Check out his book “The Bottleneck & The Machine” here: http://theaibottleneck.com
In this episode Bill explains why the reviewer bottleneck is the real constraint most firms ignore, why measuring AI adoption by license count misses the point entirely, and why firms that focus on where work waits will be the ones that pull ahead by 2027. He also addresses the tension around talent, pricing and the commitment firms must make to their staff during the AI transition.

The five questions every leader answers in this series:
1. Where is AI genuinely reshaping firm direction?
2. What are firms still getting wrong about AI?
3. Which leadership decisions on AI will matter most?
4. Where is AI creating the greatest internal tension?
5. By 2027, what will separate leading firms from the rest?
