Our top takeaways from our chat with Alex from Oncord !

📌 Team pages on websites often outperform expectations - clients research the people, not just the service.

📌 A notepad on the desk is the ultimate content cheat code. Jot ideas as they come up in client conversations and you'll never run dry on content.

📌 Good content compounds. Alex has watched firm owners build genuine reputations off the back of consistent, original content.

📌 Use AI to structure and proofread, not to write.

We sat down with Alex from Oncord last week, and we talked about the importance of owning your website, and how to use (and NOT use) AI most effectively.

It was a great chat! You can read the whole article here: https://austbook.net/news/why-bookkeepers-need-to-own-their-website

"I'm a very heavy AI user. I can tell a mile away if a website is the result of a very short chat with Claude. Or if someone pasted the first answer ChatGPT gave them. The more you use these tools, the easier it is to spot. Empty openers like "In an ever-changing landscape", and fake-profound hooks like "Let that sink in", are some examples. They don't communicate a point. They don't connect. They're just fluff. Especially disappointing when I know an operator is just such a character and their clients would be super keen to hear their opinion. Unique, original content written by a human is more valuable than ever."

A bucket list trip for some of our ABN directors - Xerocon in Denver! ✈️

Denver turned out to be a lovely mid-western city: clean, tidy, friendly, with plenty to see and do. Between conference sessions the team squeezed in the famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a Rockies baseball game and a bit of shopping.

Xerocon itself was two terrific days at the Colorado Convention Centre - heaps of tech on display, exhibitors we don't usually see in Australia, great sessions, and a chance to mix with bookkeepers and accountants from the US, South Africa, Canada, New Zealand and Australia (plus a big blue bear and Andre Agassi 👀). Some big advances happening in AI too, with plenty set to land in Australia soon.

And the after party at the funky Mile High Station Denver was a highlight - Class of 2026 themed, with Grease costumes, cheerleaders and retro gear everywhere. A great chance for our directors to hang out with American bookkeepers and accountants too.
