AI adoption in accounting is no longer about awareness—it’s about execution. Examine why many organizations remain stuck in pilot programs instead of achieving meaningful business impact. Learn how those leading the way are redesigning workflows, overcoming resistance, and building AI-ready teams.

Passionate about building capabilities across the accounting profession, Rohan leads global growth at Miles, working closely with accounting firms and alliances to help teams become AI-ready.

Uttam Pai Umesh

A US CPA and CMA, Uttam Pai Umesh began his career at Deloitte, auditing US public companies across the Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) and Retail sectors. He now leads strategic initiatives from the Founder’s Office at Miles Education, the company behind Miles Masterclass, an AI-powered learning platform often called the “Netflix for accountants.”

His work centers on two initiatives. Through Miles Masterclass, he builds on-demand, CPE-eligible courses that show accountants and finance teams how to put AI to work on real audit, tax, and finance tasks. Through CAIRA, the Certified AI-Ready Accountant credential, he defines what an AI-fluent accountant should know and be able to do. Both are developed with practicing firm leaders and industry experts, so the material reflects how the work actually gets done.

He is on a mission to make accountants AI-ready before AI makes them optional, building scalable learning systems that turn finance professionals into future-proof operators.

Miles Masterclass provides AI-focused learning designed for accounting and finance professionals.
