  • Tax, tech & when legal meets AI

    Tax, tech & when legal meets AI
    Feb 25 2026

    In this episode of Tax, Tech & Other Stuff, Russell switches things up and welcomes three guests from the legal world - Andy Wright, Hugo Cassidy, and Rachel Coleman from Pinsent Masons - to explore how AI is reshaping legal services and what tax teams can learn from the legal profession.


    They discuss how AI is being used in practice today, from automating routine workflows to crafting 800-prompt due diligence engines, and why risk management, not cost-cutting, is becoming one of the biggest AI use cases. The conversation dives deep into prompting skills, human oversight, training the next generation of lawyers, and the uncomfortable question: what happens to junior roles as AI accelerates?


    Whether you're in tax, legal, or any professional services role trying to make sense of AI’s impact on people, processes, and business models, this episode offers both realism and optimism - and plenty of parallels between industries.

  • Tax, Tech and Hiring What’s Next

    Tax, Tech and Hiring What’s Next
    Jan 29 2026
    In this episode, Russell chats with Alex Mann, Managing Director at Harvey John and one of the few recruiters focused exclusively on tax technology and transformation. They dig into the evolution of tax careers - from traditional compliance paths to hybrid data roles - and how AI and automation are shifting the hiring landscape. Alex shares honest takes on what clients really want, why LinkedIn matters more than cold calls, and how roles are changing faster than most teams can keep up. If you’ve ever wondered where tax tech talent comes from - and where it’s heading - this one’s not to be missed.

    Tax, tech and automating the grunt work
    Dec 17 2025
    In this episode of Tax, Tech and Other Stuff, Russell sits down with John McSorley, co-founder of Ilumis, a boutique tax technology firm launched in 2025. They talk entrepreneurship, workflow, and AI - covering everything from founding a lean consultancy, to building agentic AI tools that do the “grunt work” of tax. John shares lessons from his career across Big Four, in-house roles, and now as a founder, offering practical insight into what makes tax tech projects succeed (and why so many fail). If you’ve ever struggled to make workflow tools stick - or wondered how AI can actually help your team - this one’s for you.
