Nonprofits Keep Score Differently. Now Your Agents Do Too.

A for-profit business answers one question at year end: did we make money? A nonprofit has to answer three. Did we honor every donor restriction? Did each program stay on budget? And can we prove all of it on the Form 990? That is a different sport, with a different scoreboard, and most tools were never built to keep it.

That is the gap we just closed. Today we are releasing the Nonprofit Accounting Bundle, a complete fund-accounting, grant, donor, and 990-readiness system for firms that serve 501(c) organizations. There is a full walkthrough here:

Watch the demo: https://youtu.be/pXYlphpKlsU

Why nonprofits need their own agents

For-profit books are a solved problem, and our library already does them beautifully. But fund accounting, functional expenses, restricted grants, donor acknowledgments, and the 990 do not behave like ordinary books. Money comes in with strings attached. A grant can only be spent on the thing it was given for. Expenses have to be split across programs, management, and fundraising. And every restriction you honored during the year has to be provable when the return is due.

If a firm tries to run a nonprofit on for-profit tooling, the restrictions get lost, the functional split gets guessed, and 990 season becomes a scramble. This bundle is built so that does not happen.

One system, four stages

The bundle covers a nonprofit's books end to end: set up, operate, report, comply. Set up the fund structure, operate the grants and donors month to month, report to the board, and arrive at 990 season already organized. Sixteen agents work together across those stages: ten fund-aware core agents you may already know (bookkeeping setup, chart of accounts, reconciliation, month-end close, adjusting entries including release-from-restriction, cash flow, budget-vs-actual, catch-up cleanup), plus six built specifically for the nonprofit world.

The six nonprofit-specific agents

1. Net Asset & Fund Accounting Setup (#103). The flagship. Sets up the with-donor-restriction and without-donor-restriction classes per ASC 958, the fund structure in the chart of accounts, and a release-from-restriction method so restricted money is recognized correctly as it is spent.
2. Statement of Functional Expenses Builder (#104). Allocates expenses across program, management and general, and fundraising, the way the 990 and the financials require.
3. Grant Tracker & Compliance (#105). Tracks each grant's restrictions, spend-down, and reporting deadlines so nothing is spent out of bounds or reported late.
4. Form 990 Readiness & PBC Builder (#106). Assembles what the 990 needs and the prepared-by-client list, so filing season starts organized instead of frantic.
5. Donor Contribution & Acknowledgment (#107). Produces compliant contribution records and acknowledgment letters, including the language the IRS expects.
6. Board Financial Reporting Package (#108). Turns the numbers into a board-ready package the directors can actually read.

The human still keeps the judgment

Here is the part that matters, and it is the same principle behind everything we build. These agents do the heavy, repeatable work: the structure, the allocations, the tracking, the assembly. But the judgment calls stay with you. Whether a release from restriction is truly earned, how a shared cost gets allocated, which position to take on the 990. AI does the volume so your team can spend its attention on the calls that actually require a professional. The review step is baked in, because in nonprofit work a confident wrong answer is a compliance problem, not just an error.

Tomorrow: The Nonprofit Accounting Bundle. And Why We Build by Industry.

 

Tomorrow, Friday July 3, we release the Nonprofit Accounting Bundle. It is the newest in a library we grow every week, and I want to tell you why it exists and how it got made, because it says everything about how we build.

Nonprofits are not just businesses with a different logo

Anyone who has done nonprofit books knows they are their own world. It is not just revenue and expenses. It is restricted versus unrestricted funds, grant tracking and grant compliance, functional expense allocation across program, admin, and fundraising, board-ready reporting that a treasurer can actually read, donor and donation reconciliation, and the Form 990 waiting at the end of it all.

Generic accounting tools treat all of that like ordinary bookkeeping, and it is not. So nonprofit accountants end up doing the specialized parts by hand, every month, every grant, every board meeting. That is exactly the kind of repetitive, high-stakes work AI should be taking off your plate, if it is built for the actual job.

We built it because you asked, and we tested it on our own books first

This bundle did not come from a whiteboard. It came from the nonprofit accountants and finance leads who kept telling us the same thing: the tools are not built for how we work. So we built it for how you work.

And here is the part I will not skip: before it goes to you, it runs in our own firm. These are the same agents we use at Legacy SBC, on real fund accounting, real grant tracking, real reporting. We do not ship you a tool we would not trust on our own clients. We ship you the exact ones we do.

Why we are building by industry

Here is the bigger idea behind tomorrow's release. Every industry has its own quirks, and a one-size-fits-all bundle serves none of them well. A nonprofit does not run like a construction company, and a construction company does not run like a law firm. So instead of pretending one bundle fits everyone, we are building them one industry at a time, each tuned to the work that industry actually does.

The Nonprofit Accounting Bundle is tomorrow. Right behind it: a Construction Bundle and a Law Firm Bundle, with more industries after that. If your world has its own rules, the point is that eventually there is a bundle that speaks your language.

How can we help you?

This is where you come in, because the roadmap is written by you. If you work in nonprofits, tomorrow's bundle is for you. If you are in an industry we have not built yet, tell me. That is how construction and law firms made the list, and it is how yours gets on it.

Most Companies Sell You AI. We Conform to What You Need.

 

Most companies in this space have one thing to sell you, and the whole conversation is about getting you into it. One platform, one plan, one price, and your job is to bend your business until it fits their product.

We built the opposite. We do not have one door, we have several, and you pick the one that matches where you actually are. Some people just need a finished tool. Some need tools built around how their team really works. Some want to go slowly, with us next to them. Some want to learn to build the whole thing themselves. All of those are right answers. The only wrong move is being pushed into a box that does not fit you.

Here is the honest version of how you can work with us.

Just need the agents? We have it.

Sometimes you already know the task, you just want the tool that does it. No course, no subscription, no meetings. You want to buy the thing and put it to work.

That is the simplest door. You can buy a single Pro Bundle, every agent in that category, lifetime access, for $249. Or if your work spans more than one area, pick any five bundles as the AI Agent Library for $799. You own them, you run them, you are done.

• Pick a bundle or build your own set: https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/pro-bundles
• Get the full five-bundle Library ($799): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/agents-only

Need them built around your company or team? That is the membership.

Off-the-shelf is great until your workflow has a wrinkle that no standard tool accounts for. A file that comes in a certain format. A step your team does differently. A report only your clients ask for.

That is what the membership is for, and it comes at two levels so you can pick how much hands-on help you want. The first is "Submit Your Idea" at $59 a month. It gives you a bundle to start plus custom agents built around your actual workflow every month, with a weekly live Q&A and our community behind it. You tell us the task, we build the tool for how your business really runs. Modifications are the point, not the exception.

Take Anne, a bookkeeper we built a tool for. Hers turns a pile of client emails into clean PDFs in a single pass, and when she tested it she converted a hundred emails in about two minutes. Her words back to me were, "the PDFs are excellent, and I am very happy." Then she asked whether it could also pull the data out into Excel. So we are folding that straight into her tool as an update. That is what built-around-you actually looks like. The tool changes to match the work, not the other way around.

• See what membership includes: https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/pro-membership#tiers

Want to go slowly, with us next to you? Same membership, more hands-on.

Not everyone wants to be handed a tool and left to it. Some people want to learn as they go, with someone who will sit with them and help them implement, one real task at a time, at their own pace.

That is the second level of membership. "Build With Me Live" at $99 a month gives you everything in the $59 plan plus a monthly live build-and-review session with me, where we work on your real files together. It is the difference between buying a tool and building the habit. You are never doing it alone.

Want to learn and build your own business? We teach that, end to end.

And if what you really want is the skill itself, to be the person who can look at any task and build the machine that does it, we teach that in full.

Our AI Agent Sprint is a live, hands-on program led by Steve Cunningham, and your one-time enrollment includes lifetime access plus our complete self-paced Black Belt course, the whole AI Workflow Engineering method, a $1,000 value on its own. One enrollment, one thousand dollars, and you keep coming back to the live build sessions for as long as you want. That is the door for people who want to own the capability, not rent the tools.

And here is the part I will not undersell. This is not only how you build agents for your own work. It is how you build your own business. People take what they learn in the Sprint and turn it into something of their own, a new service line for their firm, AI builds for their own clients, or a practice started from scratch. Think about that for a second. Where else can you learn a real, in-demand skill and get the foundation to build a business on it, for a thousand dollars, one time, with lifetime access to the live sessions? That is not a course fee. That is a career move.

• Learn to build your own agents, and your own business: https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/sprint

And when the fit is not standard, we change the price.

Here is how far this goes. A new client looked at the $799 Agent Library, five bundles, and told us plainly he only needed four of them. The standard answer at most companies is "the package is the package." Our answer was different. We took $249 off and built him the four he actually needed for $550.

We would rather price to what you use than sell you a bundle you will not open. That is not a one-time favor, it is how we think. If the standard shape does not fit, we adjust the shape, including the price.

Why we do it this way

Because we are not here to move a product. We are here to help, to teach, and to build alongside you, and those are three different jobs for three different people on three different days. The person who just needs a tool today might want to learn to build next quarter. The firm owner who starts with one custom agent might grow into a team that runs on them. Meeting each of those people where they are is the entire idea.

A partner who resells our program put the belief underneath all of this better than I could. A loan booked as revenue does not look like an error, he said, it looks clean until someone with business context catches it. His point was that human judgment is where the value lives, so the work is to build tools that keep the person in the driver's seat, not tools that push them out of it. That is the same instinct behind everything above. We would rather fit ourselves to how you work than hand you something off a shelf and hope you bend to it.

So wherever you are on that path, there is a door for you, and you do not have to guess which one. Tell us what you need and we will point you to it, or build it, or teach you to. And if you just want to feel what one of these agents does before anything else, start free.

• Claim a finished agent free and point it at a real task: https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/claim-agent
• Trade notes with people already doing this in our free community: https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/community

AI does the typing. You make the judgment calls. And however you want to bring it into your work, buy it, subscribe to it, learn it, or have us build it with you, that part is your call. We will meet you there.

Eyes and Doors: Why Telling the Truth About AI Is Opening Both

This morning we published a piece and opened enrollment for a program that teaches people to build their own AI agents. By the afternoon, the reactions had told a bigger story than the launch itself. So I want to write about the reactions, because they say something about why this approach is working when so much AI marketing is not.

Two things happened today, side by side. People's eyes opened. And doors opened. Here is what I mean.

The eyes

The idea we keep coming back to is simple and a little uncomfortable: AI now does the volume, and it does some of that volume confidently wrong. The skill that matters is no longer doing the thousand, it is catching the five that look clean but are not. When you say that plainly, something happens. People stop arguing about whether AI is good or bad and start recognizing their own work in it.

A partner who resells our program put it better than I did in a public comment today. A loan booked as revenue does not look like an error, he wrote, it looks clean until someone with business context catches it. Then he pushed the idea somewhere I had not fully said out loud: if catching the five becomes the job, it can quietly become the heaviest, least rewarded version of the work, all responsibility and none of the creation, with the strain invisible until your best person resigns. His point was not that human judgment is overrated. It was that we have to actually resource it. Spread the review load, cap the volume, protect and reward the expert doing the catching.

That is the kind of comment you only get when the underlying idea is true. People do not deepen marketing. They deepen a real idea. And a tax-transformation leader at a global firm said the same thing from his seat this morning: the review layer is what ultimately drives trust in AI for tax. Different chair, same recognition.

The doors

Here is the part I did not expect. Honesty about the hard parts did not slow conversations down. It opened them.

A bookkeeper named Anne had described a task that ate her afternoons, converting client emails to PDFs one at a time. We built her a tool. She tested it today and converted a hundred emails to clean PDFs in about two minutes. Her words: the PDFs are excellent, and I am very happy. That is one person, one task, one afternoon handed back. But it is also the whole thesis in miniature: let the machine do the volume, keep the human pointed at the judgment.

And it kept going all day. Firm owners, audit partners, tax pros, software people, even a few peers who build in this space reached out to compare notes or to ask how they could build alongside us. A fintech partner opened a referral conversation. People booked calls. None of that happens when your message is "the robot will replace you." It happens when your message is "the robot will do the typing, and here is how you become more valuable, not less." One promise closes doors. The other opens them.

Why this works

I think the reason is almost boring. We are not selling fear, and we are not selling magic. We are telling accountants and bookkeepers the truth: AI is powerful and it is fallible, your expertise is the safeguard, and the smartest move is to stop renting tools and learn to build your own, with the review step built in and the human in the driver's seat.

That message respects the person on the other end. It opens their eyes because it matches what they are actually seeing in their own files. And it opens doors because respect is the thing people walk toward. The eyes and the doors are the same move. When you tell people the truth about where the value is going, they lean in, and then they want to come build with you.

If today's conversations resonate

AI does the typing. You make the judgment calls. Say that honestly, resource the people doing the catching, and the eyes and the doors open on their own.

Become an Elite Operator, or Be Replaced by One

For the last few weeks I have written about a single idea: AI now does the typing, and your edge is the judgment to catch the entries it gets confidently wrong. That is the defensive skill, and every firm needs it now.

This post is about the offensive one. Because catching AI's mistakes is where you protect your value. Building your own AI agents is where you multiply it. The people who pull ahead this decade will not be the ones who rent a few clever tools. They will be the ones who can look at any task that eats their week and build the machine that does it, with the review step baked in. We decided to teach that, end to end, and to put real weight behind it.

So here is what we built, and who is teaching it.

One enrollment, two programs

The offer is simple. One enrollment. One thousand dollars, one time. You get two things, and they are built to work together.

1. The AI Agent Sprint, a live, hands-on program where you build working agents alongside an instructor, with lifetime access.
2. The Black Belt course (AI Workflow Engineering), a $1,000 value, included. Our complete self-paced methodology, nine belt levels, yours to keep. It is the foundation that makes the live build click.

Here is the value math, plainly. The Black Belt course is worth the full one thousand dollars on its own. Your one thousand dollar enrollment covers it, and the lifetime live Sprint, three weeks every month for as long as you want, is included on top. Two programs, one price.

Who is teaching it

This is the part I am most excited to announce. The Sprint is led by Steve Cunningham.

If you do not know Steve, here is why it matters. He has spent fifteen years as the founder and CEO of Readitfor.me, turning the world's best business and personal development books into beautiful short-form videos and workshops for organizations around the world. He is the founder of Simple Academy, the number one AI productivity company, and the founder of the AI ROI Association. In other words, Steve has spent his entire career on one question: how do you take something complex and teach it so people can actually use it on Monday morning. The AI Workflow Engineering method is the product of that career.

Most "learn AI" programs give you one half of the equation. They hand you a technologist who has never closed a month, or a CPA who has never built a workflow. The Sprint gives you both. Steve leads the build. I am in the room as the accounting brain, so that anyone working on bookkeeping, tax, or accounting agents gets them built right for the actual work, not just clever-sounding prompts.

Included: the Black Belt (AI Workflow Engineering)

This is the complete methodology, from first principles to mastery, and it comes with your enrollment. Nine modules take you from using AI casually to thinking like a workflow engineer, Grey belt through Black:

1. The AI Productivity Toolkit (Grey): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/ai-workflow-engineering/1-foundation-concepts-grey-belt
2. Understanding Generative AI (White): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/ai-workflow-engineering/2-core-principles-white-belt
3. Goals and Action Plans (Yellow): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/ai-workflow-engineering/3-workflow-design-yellow-belt
4. Adaptive Learning (Orange): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/ai-workflow-engineering/4-advanced-workflows-orange-belt
5. Critical Thinking (Green): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/ai-workflow-engineering/5-system-design-green-belt
6. From Role Ownership to Process Ownership (Blue): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/ai-workflow-engineering/6-system-integration-blue-belt
7. Creating AI Workflows (Purple): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/ai-workflow-engineering/7-advanced-orchestration-purple-belt
8. Multi-Role Processes (Brown): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/ai-workflow-engineering/8-enterprise-patterns-brown-belt
9. Reverse Engineering Tools and Deliverables (Black): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/ai-workflow-engineering/9-complete-mastery-black-belt-1

Work through it and you will understand AI and workflows at a level most people in your field do not. That is the thinking. The live Sprint is where you turn it into agents you build yourself.

The AI Agent Sprint: lifetime access, live with Steve

Here is the live program, plainly. For your one-time enrollment you get lifetime access to a class that runs three weeks of every month, every month, for as long as you want to come back.

• Live and instructor-led on Zoom with Steve.
• Monday through Thursday, one hour a day, with daily homework so you actually ship.
• Three weeks every month, forever. Enroll once, attend as many times as you like.
• Each Monday-to-Thursday week is a full build cycle, so you can join any week and still walk out with a working agent:
  • Monday: pick the task that eats your week.
  • Tuesday: write the intake and the prompt that drives the agent.
  • Wednesday: build it and test it on real data.
  • Thursday: add your review step, ship it, and demo it.

You do not watch someone else build. You build, with help, until it works on your own files. And because lifetime access means you can run the live class three weeks a month for years, the value of a one-time price keeps compounding long after you enroll.

The next cohort starts Monday, July 6. July sessions run July 6 to 9, July 13 to 16, and July 20 to 23.

Who it is for

Anyone who wants to become an operator. You do not need to be an accountant, a coder, or technical. If you have ever thought "a machine should be doing this," this is where you learn to build that machine. Accountants, bookkeepers, tax pros, and firm owners get an extra edge, because I am in the room to make sure the accounting is sound. But the Sprint is for anyone in any role who is ready to stop doing the busywork by hand.

How to join

1. Enroll in the AI Agent Sprint and join the July 6 cohort with Steve. Your enrollment includes the full self-paced Black Belt course (a $1,000 value): https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/sprint
2. Want to see what finished agents feel like first? Claim one free and point it at a real task: https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/claim-agent
3. Trade notes with people already doing this in our free community: https://aiaccounting.legacysbc.com/community

AI does the typing. You make the judgment calls. And now, if you want it, you can learn to build the whole machine. Become an elite operator, or be replaced by one. We would rather you became one, and we will teach you how.

Confidently Wrong: The One Skill Every Firm Needs Now That AI Codes the Books

Here is a scene that is already playing out in firms everywhere. An AI tool codes a thousand transactions in about a minute. It is fast, it is tireless, and it is mostly right. Then five of those entries are wrong. Not obviously wrong. Confidently wrong. They look exactly as clean and reasonable as the 995 it nailed.

That gap, between fast-and-mostly-right and quietly-wrong, is the most important thing happening in accounting right now. And it points to a new skill that every firm needs to build immediately.

Why AI gets these wrong

The model is not dumb. It lacks business context. An AI tool sees a cash inflow and defaults to revenue, because in the absence of any other information, money coming in usually is revenue. It has no idea that this particular deposit was a loan draw, an owner contribution, or a transfer between two of your own accounts. That knowledge does not live in the transaction. It lives in the business.

So the machine fills the gap with the statistically obvious answer, states it with total confidence, and moves on. Multiply that across a thousand rows and you get books that are 99.5 percent right and 100 percent untrustworthy until someone checks.

The five it gets wrong

These are the errors I see again and again when AI codes a set of books without a human in the loop:

1. Owner draws coded as income or expense, when they belong in equity.
2. Account transfers double counted, inflating both sides of the activity.
3. Loan proceeds booked as revenue, turning a liability into phantom income.
4. Personal spend swept into deductions, which is a problem the moment it touches a return.
5. Big purchases expensed instead of capitalized, which quietly distorts the balance sheet and the depreciation schedule.

None of these are rounding errors. Each one flows straight into the financials and, eventually, onto a tax return.

The skill that actually matters now

Here is the shift, and it is a big one. For decades the entry-level accounting skill was data entry: key it in, key it accurately, key it fast. AI just took that job. What it cannot take is the judgment to look at a confident, clean-looking entry and know it is wrong.

So the new skill, the one to train your team on starting today, is spotting confident but incorrect output. It is less "can you enter a thousand transactions" and more "can you catch the five that look right but are not." That is a higher-value skill, it is harder to automate, and it is exactly where your people become more valuable, not less.

The firms that struggle will be the ones that paste AI output straight into the books. The firms that pull ahead will be the ones that let AI do the thousand and train their people to catch the five.

How we built this thinking into our tools

This is the whole philosophy behind what we launched on Friday, and it is why every agent we build keeps you in the driver's seat rather than pretending to replace you.

Our two new tax agents are built around exactly this principle. The Depreciation Schedule Builder will compute straight line, declining balance, and full MACRS across your entire asset list in seconds, and carry forward prior depreciation, but it leaves the judgment calls (the conventions, the elections, what counts as a capital asset in the first place) to you. The Cost Segregation Estimator flags where building components could be reclassified to accelerate depreciation, then hands you a defensible estimate to review, not a black-box answer to trust blindly. Both do the typing. You make the calls.

We also launched the Practice Growth Bundle for firms that want to turn this efficiency into more and better clients, and the AI Agent Sprint, a program where you learn to build your own AI agents, with the review step baked in, for your own workflows. Because the goal was never to hand your books to a robot. It was to let the robot do the thousand so your team can master the five.

Try it on your own books

The fastest way to understand this is to watch it happen on real data.

Everything We Are Releasing Today: Two New Agents, a New Bundle, and the Sprint

Today is a big one. We are shipping four things at once: two new tax agents, a new bundle for growing your firm, and the training a lot of you have been asking for. Here is the three minute tour, and then the details.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/W-PGhJ4jsCY

If you would rather read than watch, everything in the video is below.

Agent #121: Depreciation Schedule Builder

Hand it your fixed assets and it builds a clean depreciation schedule in seconds, asset by asset, with accumulated depreciation and net book value calculated for you. There are three ways to get your data in: upload or paste a CSV, import a PDF of a prior schedule and let it read the assets, or enter assets one at a time in the form.

It handles the methods that actually matter: straight line, declining balance at 150 and 200 percent, and full MACRS using the IRS tables. It also carries forward prior accumulated depreciation, so a mid-life asset picks up exactly where it left off instead of starting over.

Agent #122: Cost Segregation Estimator

This is the companion to the depreciation tool, and it is where the real tax dollars live. It helps you spot the building components that can be reclassified into shorter recovery lives, five, seven, and fifteen years, instead of sitting on a 39-year schedule. The result is accelerated depreciation, which front-loads deductions and keeps your client's cash in their pocket sooner.

It gives you a fast, structured, defensible estimate, not a chatbot guess, and it flags what a full cost segregation study would confirm. It is an estimate, not a study, and not tax advice. It is the tool you use to decide whether a study is worth commissioning.

The honest part: five places AI gets depreciation wrong

Both of these tools are fast. But depreciation is one of those areas where fast and wrong live very close together, so we want to be straight with you. There are five places an AI tool will burn you if you trust it without knowing the rules:

1. Book is not tax. MACRS is a separate system from your book schedule, with its own recovery periods and tables.
2. The convention. MACRS defaults to half-year, but more than 40 percent of purchases in Q4 forces mid-quarter, which changes every number.
3. Section 179 and bonus. They reduce basis before MACRS even starts, and the limits change yearly.
4. Salvage value. Book subtracts it. MACRS ignores it entirely.
5. Real estate. Buildings are 27.5 or 39 years on a mid-month convention, different again from everything above.

The tools do the building. You make these five calls. We wrote the full breakdown in a separate post today, "AI Did the Depreciation in 30 Seconds. Here Is the One Place It Will Burn You."

New: the Practice Growth Bundle ($249)

Your agent library already covers doing the work. This bundle covers getting and keeping the work: attract, convert, and expand. It is 14 agents in all, and the flagship is the LinkedIn Connection Engine, which productizes the exact outreach system we run here every single day. It segments your connections, drafts tailored intros, sets up a follow-up tracker, and gives you reply playbooks. The rest of the bundle fills the top of the funnel (lead magnets, niche positioning) and the bottom (referrals, reviews, expansion) so the whole "grow your firm" system is covered in one place.

The big one: the AI Agent Sprint ($1,000)

By the end of this program, you will be able to build your own AI agents. Not borrow ours. Not poke at a chatbot. Build the real thing, for your own firm and your own clients. Become an elite operator, or be replaced by one.

Here is what one enrollment gets you, for $1,000 one time:

• The live Sprint, with lifetime access. It runs on Zoom, Monday through Thursday, one hour a day, three weeks of every month, forever. Each Monday-to-Thursday week is a complete build cycle, so you can jump in any week and walk out with a working agent. Buy once, attend as many times as you want.
• The Black Belt course, included. Our full self-paced AI Workflow Engineering program, nine belt levels from Grey through Black, a $1,000 value, included with your enrollment. Black Belt is not sold separately. The Sprint is how you get it, and the lifetime live Sprint comes on top.

You also get both halves of the equation most AI training is missing. Steve Cunningham leads the build and teaches the method for turning a real task into a working agent. Yvonne Razo is the accounting brain in the room, so your agents are built right for actual bookkeeping, tax, and accounting work, not just clever prompts.

It is for anyone who wants to become an operator. You do not need to be an accountant, a coder, or technical. If you have ever thought "a machine should be doing this," this is where you learn to build that machine.

The next cohort starts Monday, July 6. Live weeks are July 6 to 9, 13 to 16, and 20 to 23.
