    Exploring AI for Small-Medium Businesses: From How? to Wow! By: Ilya Ilienko, MBA, CMA, CPA, CFO


     And no, you don’t need to be a tech wizard (or a Netflix engineer) to use it.
    📉 Small businesses are facing labor shortages and rising costs.
     💡 In my latest blog, I break down exactly how small biz owners can dip a toe into AI without drowning in jargon.
    👉 Think of it like hiring a genius intern who works 24/7, never complains, and loves spreadsheets.
     🔥 Tools, tips, real-world examples--all there.
    📲 Dive in. Skim it. Share your take.
    Special thanks to Margaret Michaels, Lori Colaccio Parks, and their incredible team🥇Woo-Hoo🎇!

    @Monomita Nandy

    Well well . . . Monomita 😊

    If it were anyone other than you, I would say thank you for the nice comment.

    But I won’t allow such a nonchalant “thanks” to suffice. The recognition and kudos are coming from you, a globally recognized scholar, leader, and change-maker in accounting, sustainability, and interdisciplinary research 🌍📊.

    Your work, from policy influence at the 🇪🇺 EU Parliament to transformative collaboration across disciplines,  is truly inspiring. 🙏 I’m deeply honored by your words.

    Looking forward to more cross-continental ideas and connections 💡✈️
