@Jason @OpenAI @xai @Gemini @claudeai @ClaidAI is the real winner for work and business IMHO

cancelled our corporate @OpenAI account today; We were spending ~ $10k a year @xai is better for real time data @Gemini is better for travel, local YouTube & @claudeai is much better for corporate (Cowork and Project features specifically) ChatGPT isn’t keeping up imo — and I don’t trust them with my corporate data Long game, but I think ChatGPT is 4th place now

@davidleary @Intuit @OpenAI Ha ha ha, I literally just sent this and wanted to see what you had to say

We are at the top ...sell everything!!! @intuit to spend $100 million a year on @OpenAI investors.intuit.com/news-events/pr…

Curious what the profession thinks of this move? Interesting and wonder if accountants will start moving clients to other platforms or embrace it investors.intuit.com/news-events/pr… #smb #cpa #accountant @AICPA @davidleary

@uptonaccounting @stevelanza3 But have you raised rates why did you eat that 20%. If costing the world are going up, so must our fees.

@stevelanza3 It used to be about 30% prior to 2020. Costs have skyrocketed for everything.

My QBO subscriptions are now $2009 a month. Our firm is spending close to 15% of gross on SAAS across the whole tech stack. 45% payroll/benefits, 30% occupancy/overhead, 10% profit. The squeeze is real. Thinking about changes while I’m at dialysis today.

@BlakeTOliver I don’t mind the coding agent but the fact they are trying to even move in on the analysis too.. that’s what they sold for years is how we stay ahead… anyone else’s thoughts?

@BlakeTOliver Interesting, it was inevitable! So when do all us accountants just build our own GL system by accountants for accountants. With tools like this only for accountants and not sell out of both side of our market like Intuit.

QuickBooks is launching AI agents this July that will literally do your bookkeeping for you — or so Intuit claims. Four specialized agents will handle accounting, payments, customer management, and financial analysis automatically.

@BlakeTOliver We always say our tools will add AI to make us better but intuit always try’s to sell it to us and our clients. How about some special tools just for accountants. Intuit is constantly trying to inject in our relationships….

@FortWayneCPA Excited to hear this for you and written down! Are you planning to exit your firm or will it continue by the team?

Write this down. 4 years from today Karena and I retire from our CPA firm. She will be a few days past her 60th birthday and I will be a few weeks before my 62nd birthday. I may have an extra glass of Spanish red win tonight...

@uptonaccounting I was just looking at this the other day too. I wish there was a way to export this for all returns to analyze @DrakeSoftware

Some 1040s have stats like this and some take literally 5 minutes. Glad this one is done.

Just got an email that @MosaicMfg is ending the Pallet product to build it into their Printers. So sad to see this as the idea was good. The execution unfortunately was #horrible. The prices mean you are leaving the #DIY and #Maker Space i assume. #RIP Businesses demand quality.

@briancpaMI @taxchic_k Yup, someone got snippy with my team for no reason except their ignorance. They got an email an hour later, we have no pending work, please find attached a disengagement letter and all the best….

@taxchic_k It's kind of funny now when clients try to flex.

@seattle_tax Which ads? I use their pricing last year on several clients as a comparison to establish the value we provide, and once I showed that to them, never heard another word about it.

@JStaatsCPA This is awesome, just started playing with it too. How are you testing it? I don't see where I can provide it much info beyond text

I've been putting OpenAI's new model through its paces on various accounting workflows For the first time, I'd say we have an AI operating at staff-level capability on most of the accounting tasks I've thrown at it

Hey, Anyone in my network build an AI model or system? I would love to hear about it. I am thinking of some new things to try! #cpa #accounting #SMB

@MikeSyl36625988 They will never think it is optional end of the day boss asked. When I have had similar situations I have offered to share the profits with my team. Makes them stakeholders in an intense overwork period but also allows you to solidify a client relationship.

Question for those of you who run firms. I am considering something I have never considered before... I have a client that needs a LOT of work done. A lot. They really want it done fast. I would prefer it be done fast; however, it is a capacity issue. They are willing to pay more to get it done fast. I very strongly do not want to work my staff to death. That has always been the case. I am thinking about doing the following: Telling all of my staff qualified to do this that I have a special project, and it is OPTIONAL. They can and should say no if they do not want to do it. I will emphasize the crap out of this. Trust me, I will. Remember, I pay by the hour already. This means they will be paid their normal hourly rate for any hours they work anyway. If they work more than 40 hours a week, they would of course be paid time and a half, as always. And if they commit to working 40 hours MORE than they are scheduled to work the rest of this year on dates and times of their choosing, we would pay them a significant bonus on top of their normal pay. Note there is so much work most or even maybe all of them could accept this task if they chose to. I would do everything I can to make sure everyone knows that it is optional, and my staff would believe me on this. Should I follow this plan? If not, why NOT? #cpa #ea

@seattle_tax Think they need a good tax plan so they can afford to give more….

@HSatterley @Xero @Clayton_Oates @BenRichmond1 @LizScottQBO @RCrabtreeCPA @ignitionapp @ignition_ryan @guy_pearson @qbappyhour Looks amazing, Total #FOMO lol

What an incredible time at our first #Xerocon in #Nashville we networked, learned new things, and danced the night away! Thanks @Xero for a great time!! @Clayton_Oates @BenRichmond1 @LizScottQBO @RCrabtreeCPA @ignitionapp @ignition_ryan @guy_pearson @qbappyhour

@westelm We liked your product, but the customer service has been some of the worst I can ever imagine, causing my pregnant wife to breakdown on the phone from frustration many times. I will do everything possible to never spend another dollar at @westelm again.

@westelm So now we have a baby and no furniture due to the constant miss-information provided and lack of any form of escalation response!

@westelm #CustomerService #fail Never shopping with you again. It has been months of lies from untrained service reps and constant stress for my pregnant wife and now newborn… never get calls back from mangers. Just ghosting! DO NOT BUY @westelm they don’t care for customers
