Count.ed 2025

Date: 30 September 2025

For three days during the week of 8th September four R+M team members, Jane Newsome, Wayne Higgins, Joel Weier and Sunita Lal attended the Count.ed 2025 conference for financial planners and accountants.

The three days included some incredible keynote speakers along with 40min sessions which covered a variety of topics specific to financial planners, accountants or client support roles within the industry.

Amazing presentations from Michael McQueen – world leading change strategist, Andrew Inwood from CoreData, Dr Gill Hicks, Stephen Scheeler, Cheng Lei and Mark Visser covered thought provoking subjects around digital change and AI but also through to surviving extreme duress, leadership and empowering others.

SOME KEY TAKEAWAYS INCLUDE:
• Think about change and AI as tides not waves
• Top AI players include ChatGPT, NotebookLM, perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Claude
• Overcoming barriers to legacy planning – how do we best educate and bring along the next generation?
• Generational context – for example emojis may not mean what you think
• Change isn’t the problem, It is the fear of loss – loss of power, loss of familiarity and loss of dignity
