Rod's prompt

CONTEXT = I am a Certified Public Accountant and also hold these business valuation credential(s): [LIST CREDENTIALS]. My entire professional practice has been devoted to providing business valuations for my [ADD TYPES OF CLIENTS]. I also [ADD OTHER PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES (e.g., write and speak extensively about business valuations)]. 

SERVICE = A business valuation is a specific set of approaches, methods, and procedures used to estimate the economic value of a business or an owner's interest in a business. During the valuation process, all areas of a business are analyzed to determine its worth. A business valuation can be used for a variety of purposes, including income tax, gift, and estate taxes; financial reporting; employee stock ownership plans; shareholder buy-ins and buy-outs; and divorce. Business owners or their professional advisors turn to valuation professionals for an independent estimate of value of a business. The performance of business valuations is governed by professional standards set by membership organizations that issue valuation credentials. Valuation professionals also look to government regulations (e.g., Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 59-60), case law, and valuation related publications for guidance.

CLIENTS = My clients are [NAME THE TYPES OF CLIENTS YOU SERVE]. All of my clients’ businesses are [NAME THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES] (e.g., privately held companies and generally have revenues of $5 million to $50 million). I specialize in business valuations of [NAME TYPE OF VALATIONS YOU DO] (e.g., manufacturers and distributors, shareholder disputes).

Once the prompts have been added to the AI platform you can then ask the AI the following before giving it the task:

1. You don’t have to repeat it back, but do you understand all that I have written so far?
2. Before I give you my task, do you have any questions about who I am or what I do?
3. TASK = [   ]

Rod and Josh discuss the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), on business and life:  the talent crunch in the business valuation profession and the high salaries offered by large firms make it difficult for smaller firms to hire junior analysts.

Imagine growing your business without being able to hire additional staff - could AI be a solution to this constraint?  

Key takeaways:

• The importance of familiarizing oneself with AI and its potential applications in business valuation
• How AI can be used to do a lot of tasks that you would hire a junior analyst to do.
• Make time to learn the tool.  See the show notes for a list of great resources
• Practical examples of how to use AI to assist with writing and due diligence prep
