Questions firms ask

Frequently asked questions

Why book Adam for an accounting audience?

Because he works with practices through AI Edge, pitches to how a firm actually runs, and is straight about client confidentiality, so a cautious room leaves reassured.

Does Adam speak specifically to accountants?

Yes. Adam delivers AI keynotes and 100+ workshops built for accountants, bookkeepers and advisory firms, and runs AI Edge masterclasses for accountants. Every session is shaped to the practice audience and how a firm actually works before he walks on stage.

Is the content safe around tax and financial advice?

Yes. Adam leads with guardrails: where AI helps with admin, drafting and research, and where giving tax or financial advice stays firmly with the qualified accountant. The aim is productivity inside the rules, not around them.

Can you tailor it to compliance versus advisory?

Always. Adam researches your firm or conference and the room's AI experience, then tailors the examples and prompt stack. A compliance-focused session looks different from one for a business advisory team.

Do you run a hands-on workshop as well as the keynote?

Yes. A common format is a keynote followed by a half-day or full-day workshop for a smaller group, where the team actually sets up and uses the tools. The keynote plants the idea; the workshop does the installation.

How much does it cost to book Adam Franklin as an AI keynote speaker for accountants?

Adam's AI keynotes for accountants start from $10,000 +GST, and conference breakouts from $8,000 +GST. Hands-on workshops for accounting and advisory teams are priced on format and length. Every event is quoted individually after a short call, so the fee reflects the audience, the format and the level of tailoring. The fastest way to a firm quote is the contact form or a brief call.

Where is Adam based, and does he travel for accountants events?

Adam is based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, and speaks nationally across Australia. He travels interstate for accounting conferences, associations and in-house firm events.
