New Course Empowers CPAs to Lead AI Adoption Using K1x’s Patented Automation Technology
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–K1x, the leader in AI-powered tax compliance solutions, has partnered with XcelLabs to launch Turning Tax Tech into Leadership Opportunity, a hands-on program that shows accountants how to use AI to lead change inside their firms.
The on-demand course gives participants the opportunity to learn and apply AI-first frameworks developed by XcelLabs while practicing end-to-end K-1 automation using K1x’s patented K1 Aggregator® software. Attendees will gain practical skills to streamline workflows, improve accuracy, and convert saved hours into client-facing growth.
Key learning areas include:
- AI-First Leadership Mindset – Learn how to identify inefficiency as opportunity and lead change from the middle.
- Hands-On K-1 Automation – See how K1 Aggregator® automates real tax workflows and eliminates manual entry.
- Proving ROI – Quantify time saved, demonstrate impact, and speak the language of firm leaders.
- Driving Firmwide Buy-In – Turn small wins into lasting change and unlock time for higher-value client work.
“Everyone’s talking about AI, but few are actually using it,” said Jody Padar, co-founder of XcelLabs. “This program flips that. We’re giving accountants a real way to see AI in action, through K1x’s automation tech, and showing them how to turn that proof into leadership inside their firms.”
The program builds on K1x’s previous collaboration with Padar on the white paper, Implementing Tax Technology Best Practices, which outlined best practices for adopting AI in tax compliance.
“Working with XcelLabs is a natural extension of our mission to simplify and scale tax compliance,” said Ken Powell, CRO of K1x. “With this training, accountants don’t just hear about AI; they practice it, measure it, and walk away ready to create client impact. We’re not just selling amazing AI tax software. This is a great example of how we ensure our customers are fully trained, onboarded, and ready to fully adopt our software so they can unlock its potential for their growth.
