Which Door Is Yours? A Plain Guide to Everything We Offer

I get this question constantly, and I have never had a short answer for it:

"Yvonne, where do I even start with you guys?"

It's a fair question and it's my fault, not yours. We have a free community, a free agent, a free training week, a $25 single agent, a $99 build-your-own, a $249 bundle, a $799 library, and a monthly membership. Written out like that it looks like a menu at a diner. Nobody can tell what's what.

So let me fix it. No pitch. Just an honest map of every door we have, what's behind each one, and — more useful — who each one is wrong for.

Here's the organizing idea, because once you see it the whole menu collapses into something simple. Everything we offer answers one of three questions:

"Just do the work for me." You want finished agents. You don't care how they're made.
"Teach me to do it myself." You want the skill, either for your own practice or to sell.
"Build it around my work specifically." Your workflow is peculiar and off-the-shelf won't cut it.

Find your question, and the door picks itself.

The free doors

Start here regardless of which question is yours. These cost nothing and nothing renews.

The community

AI for Accounting on Heartbeat is a private community for firm owners and operators actually putting AI to work in bookkeeping, tax, payroll, and advisory. Free to join.

The reason it stays useful is that it's vetted. Practitioners only — firm owners, ops leads, CAS and advisory leads. No vendors, no agencies fishing for leads, no pitches. People post real implementations, real prompts, real workflows, including the ones that didn't work.

And you have us there. Constant contact — ask a question, get help when you're stuck, share what worked, see what other people built. You don't wait for a scheduled call to get an answer. That's the whole point of it being a community instead of a mailing list.

Who it's wrong for: anyone hoping to sell something to accountants. You will not get in.

A free agent

Claim one. No card, nothing renews, nothing turns into a bill later.

This exists for one reason: you shouldn't have to take my word for any of this. Take an agent, run it on something real from your own desk this week, and form your own opinion. If it doesn't hold up, you've lost nothing and you've learned something true.

Who it's wrong for: nobody. Genuinely. Take it.

A free week of training

A full week of hands-on training, one hour a day, live at 3 PM CST, every session recorded, no card.

This is not a "here are ten prompts" webinar. You build. By the end of the week you'll have built agents for your own work and you'll walk away with a free agent to keep. Upcoming weeks: September 7, September 14, and September 28.

Who it's wrong for: someone who wants the results but has no interest in understanding the machinery. That's a completely legitimate position, and the paid doors below are built for exactly that person.

The "just do the work" doors

You want finished agents. Four sizes.

One agent — $25

You do not have to buy a bundle to buy an agent. À la carte, any single agent is $25. Pick the one task that annoys you most, buy that one agent, and be done. Twenty-five dollars, no subscription, no bundle you didn't ask for.

I mention this because people assume the smallest thing we sell is $99, and it isn't. If there's exactly one job you want off your plate, buy exactly one agent. Members pay $12.50.

Browse the agents

Who it's wrong for: anyone who already knows they want three or more. At $25 each, four agents cost $100 — which is more than five cost as a bundle. Do the next door instead.

Build your own five — $99

On the Build a Bundle page you pick any five from the full public list and the fifth is free — five for $99, versus $125 buying them one at a time.

This is the one I point most people to first, because you know your own bottlenecks better than I ever will. Pick the five tasks that eat your week and hand exactly those over.

Who it's wrong for: someone who doesn't yet know what their bottlenecks are. If you can't name five, don't guess — start with the free agent instead.

A whole Pro Bundle — $249

A Pro Bundle is the assembled version: an entire role or industry's stack, 11 to 30 agents deep. Bookkeepers, Tax, Payroll, CFO/Advisory, Audit, Client Onboarding, Accounting Firm, Practice Growth, Marketing, Small Business Operator, New Small Business, Construction, Real Estate, Restaurant, E-commerce, Law Firm, Nonprofit, Therapist, Forensic.

Nineteen of them, and we add a new one every Friday. If your clients live in one of those worlds, that bundle was built for their specific quirks — retainage, IOLTA, tip credits, fund accounting — not for accounting in general.

Who it's wrong for: someone who only needs two or three agents. Don't buy a stack of twenty to use four. Build your five for $99 instead.

The whole library — $799

Agents Only is pick any five Pro Bundles, delivered by email. No live sessions, no portal to log into, no scheduled anything. Lifetime access, and you can share it across your firm.

The headline on that page is honest about what it is: pick any five bundles, none of the live work. It's for the firm that wants the working product — prompts, files, instructions — and does not want to attend a single call. And if you've already bought a Pro Bundle, it's half off at $399.

Who it's wrong for: a solo practitioner working inside one lane. Five bundles is a firm-sized amount of material if your whole book looks the same.

But if you're solo and serving multiple industries, this is arguably the best value we have. A solo bookkeeper with a couple of contractors, a restaurant, a law firm, and a handful of e-commerce sellers needs four different bundles to serve that book properly — and buying them one at a time is $996. Five for $799 costs less than four, and you get a fifth to grow into. Being small does not mean being narrow, and if your client list is a mixed bag, this is the door.

The "build it around me" door

Pro Membership — $59 or $99 a month

This is the one people miss, and for some practices it's the most valuable thing we do. Pro Membership means we build agents around your actual work, on a schedule.

Submit Your Idea — $59/month. You send us the task through an intake form. We build it. Two custom agents a month, delivered in 48 business hours. Plus the monthly Workflow Lab, the weekly Q&A Wednesdays at noon Central, and community access.

Build with Yvonne — $99/month. Everything above, plus you and I sit down live for a 15-minute build session and a separate 15-minute review to refine it, plus an additional agent built by the team. You also get two books from the AI for Accounting series when you sign up.

Both cancel anytime, both carry a 30-day refund guarantee. One build at a time on purpose — I would rather give you one clean agent than three sloppy ones.

And here's the part that changes the math on everything above: members get 50% off everything we sell. Every agent, every bundle, the whole library. A single agent is $12.50 instead of $25. A five-agent build is $49.50. A $249 Pro Bundle is $125. The $799 library is $400. Which means if you're planning to buy more than one thing, the membership stops being an added cost and starts paying for itself — a single bundle purchase covers roughly two months of it at the $59 tier, and you still get your two custom builds a month on top.

Who it's wrong for: someone buying exactly one bundle, once, and never coming back. If the Bookkeepers bundle is all you'll ever need, buy it and save your money.

How I'd actually route you

Curious, not committed: free community, free agent. Zero dollars, zero risk, and you'll know within a week whether any of this is for you.

One specific job you want gone: buy the one agent for $25 and stop there. Not everything has to be a stack.

Solo bookkeeper drowning in the close: free agent first, then build your five for $99 around reconciliation, categorization, the client report, the receipt chase, and the email you rewrite every month.

Firm owner: a Pro Bundle for whichever role is most backed up, then a second for the industry most of your clients sit in. If you're buying more than two, the $799 library is the cheaper math.

Solo, but serving a mixed book: the $799 library. Four bundles bought separately cost more than five bought together, and a varied client list is exactly what it's for.

Running a business, not a firm: Small Business Operator, New Small Business, or Marketing. You need an operator's stack, not accounting agents.

Your work is genuinely strange: Pro Membership. Nothing off the shelf fits a truly odd workflow, and that's what the custom builds are for.

You're going to buy more than one thing: start with the membership, then buy. At 50% off everything, the discount alone usually covers the membership.

You want this to be your skill, or your next business: the free week, then keep building alongside us in the membership. Two custom builds a month is a fast way to learn by watching your own workflows get built.

Your industry isn't on the list: email me at yvonne@simpleacademy.ai. We build a new bundle every Friday and what people ask for is what gets built.

Here's the thing I'd most like you to take from this. Three of the eight doors cost nothing, and they are the three I'd steer almost everybody toward first. I'm not being generous — I just think this stuff sells itself once you've actually watched an agent do your work, and it can't sell itself from a pricing page.

Take the free agent. Join the free community. And if you want to learn the skill rather than buy the product, the free week is genuinely free.

AI does the typing. You make the judgment calls. That's true behind every one of these doors.

Let Me Open the Hood on One of Our Agents

Every week someone asks me some version of the same question: "Okay, but what is an agent?"

It's a fair question. The word gets thrown around so loosely now that it's stopped meaning anything. So this weekend I'm not going to explain it. I'm going to open the hood on a real one and let you look inside.

The one I want to show you is called the Daily Work Overview agent. Its job sounds almost boring: at the end of the day, tell me what actually got done. Not a time sheet. Not a list of every file I touched. A clean, honest picture of what my people, my agents, and my software actually moved that day — and what's stuck.

Here's what's inside it.

It interviews you before it touches anything. It asks my name. It asks what date it's covering and confirms my timezone. It asks which folders it has permission to look in, and it will not look anywhere else. Then it asks me one question I've come to really appreciate: How are things going today, 1 to 5? And it records my answer exactly as I gave it, labeled "self-reported," with the line "Context, not a performance measure." It is not allowed to guess that number from how many files I saved.

It refuses to confuse activity with work. This is the part I'd want in every system I own. The agent is told, in plain language, that a file's timestamp is not proof that anything meaningful happened, because syncing, copying, exporting, and downloading all change timestamps too. So it has to actually read enough of the file to know what it is. It looks for real evidence first — a work receipt, a changelog entry, a handoff note, the artifact itself — and only falls back to timestamps as a hint about where to look. It is never allowed to report "worked on," "finished," or "approved" from a timestamp alone.

It separates three kinds of work, every single time. Human work is judgment, decisions, approvals, relationships. Agent work is reasoning, research, drafting, analysis. Software work is the deterministic stuff — files generated, data moved, emails sent, records updated. Every card on the finished page shows all three. And if one of them didn't happen, the agent has to write "None recorded" instead of inventing something to fill the space.

It will not let me call something done just because it's finished. Drafted isn't done. Sent isn't done. Delegated isn't done. An agent finishing something isn't done. Done requires an accepted result with evidence. Anything that's waiting or blocked stays in the active lane with a named owner, a stated blocker, and the exact condition that would let it resume. And anything the agent can't verify gets pushed outside the lanes into a "needs confirmation" list rather than quietly padding the report.

It hands back one finished file. A single self-contained HTML page I can open offline. Twelve future-work slots, eight active, eight done — and the empty slots stay visibly empty, because an honest empty slot tells you more than a padded one.

That's one agent. One.

And I want you to notice what it actually is underneath all of that. It isn't magic and it isn't code. It's a very careful description of how a thoughtful person would do a job — the standards, the order of operations, what counts as proof, what it's not allowed to assume, and what it does when it doesn't know. That's the whole secret. If you can explain how you do a task the way you'd explain it to a new hire, that's an agent. No code. We teach that in a free week of training and I'll come back to it at the end, but if you'd rather jump straight there, the door is right here: free week of training.

Now here's the part that matters for you

We've built nearly 200 of these. Not two hundred prompts. Two hundred agents with that same level of care built into each one, covering the actual work of accounting, bookkeeping, tax, payroll, advisory, and running a firm.

And you can get at them five ways.

1. Take one for free

Claim a free agent. No card, no trial that turns into a bill. Pick one, run it on real work this week, and see for yourself whether it holds up. I'd rather you test one than take my word for any of this.

2. Build your own five for $99

À la carte, each agent is $25. But on the Build a Bundle page you pick any five from the full public list and the fifth one is on us — five agents for $99. Same agents, same delivery, your choice.

This is the one I point most people to first, because you know your own bottlenecks better than I do. Pick the five tasks that eat your week and hand those over.

3. Take a whole Pro Bundle for $249

A Pro Bundle is the done-for-you version: an entire role or industry's stack, already assembled, 11 to 30 agents deep. Here's the full shelf right now:

Bookkeepers (13) — the full monthly close: reconcile, categorize, adjust, close, report
Tax (11) — preparation, planning, and compliance across every entity type
Payroll (11) — setup, pay cycle, filings
CFO / Advisory (20) — reporting, planning, advisory
Audit / Review / Quality (12) — the full attest engagement workflow
Client Onboarding (11) — discovery through first deliverable
Accounting Firm (21) — firm operations, AI strategy, team development
Practice Growth (14) — positioning, outreach, close
Marketing (22) — position, attract, capture, nurture, convert, retain
Small Business Operator (14) — money, customers, operations, people
New Small Business (11) — the launch and setup stack
Construction (18) — job costing, billing, payroll, bonding
Real Estate (30) — set up by property, run the books, depreciate or flip, exit
Restaurant (25) — reconcile revenue, tax and tips, food and labor, close
E-commerce (25) — reconcile sales and payouts, tax and inventory, see margin
Law Firm (17) — trust accounting, billing, matter economics
Nonprofit (16) — fund accounting, compliance, board reporting
Therapist (14) — set up, reconcile revenue, pay clinicians, close and report
Forensic Accounting (17) — detect, investigate, quantify, report and testify

Nineteen bundles today — and we add a new one every Friday. That shelf is longer this week than it was last week, and it'll be longer again next Friday. If your clients live in one of those worlds, that bundle was built for their quirks, not for accounting in general. And if your industry isn't up there yet — email me at yvonne@simpleacademy.ai and we'll build it next. That's not a polite brush-off. That's genuinely how the next Friday gets chosen.

4. Take five bundles for $799

If you're running a firm and you want the whole operating system rather than a piece of it, any five Pro Bundles together are $799.

5. Or skip buying and learn to build them yourself — free

If you'd rather own the skill than the shelf, we give the training away. A free week of training — one hour a day, live, recorded, no card. You'll build agents for your own work, and plenty of people take that same skill and turn it into an AI consulting practice. Details and dates are at the bottom of this post.

And the community is free, always

The AI for Accounting community costs nothing to join. It's where the agents, the replays, the workshops, and the people who actually use this stuff all live. If you only do one thing after reading this, do that one.

How I'd pick, if you asked me

If you're a solo bookkeeper: claim the free agent, then build your five around the monthly close. Reconciliation, categorization, the client report, the missing-receipt chase, the recurring client email. That's your week back.

If you're running a firm: go straight to a Pro Bundle for the role that's most backed up, then add a second for the industry most of your clients sit in. The Accounting Firm bundle covers your own operations; Practice Growth covers filling the calendar.

If you're running a business, not a firm: you don't need accounting agents so much as an operator's stack. Small Business Operator covers money, customers, operations, and people. New Small Business covers the launch and setup. Marketing covers getting found and getting paid. Those three are where most owners find their week hiding.

If you serve one industry hard: buy that industry's bundle. Construction, restaurant, real estate, law, nonprofit, therapist, e-commerce. Generic bookkeeping agents genuinely can't handle retainage or IOLTA or tip credits, and yours shouldn't have to try.

If you have no idea yet: free agent, free community, and a free week of training. Costs you nothing, and you'll know inside a week.

If your industry isn't on that list: email me at yvonne@simpleacademy.ai. We build a new bundle every Friday, and what people ask for is what gets built.

I'll say the thing I always say, because it's still the truest sentence I know about all of this: AI does the typing. You make the judgment calls. That Daily Work Overview agent I walked you through doesn't decide anything. It gathers, it verifies, it refuses to overstate, and it hands the whole thing to me for review. Every agent we build works that way on purpose. You stay the expert. You just stop doing the grunt work by hand.

And if you'd rather learn to build these yourself than buy them from anybody — including me — that door is wide open too.

There are two reasons people take us up on that. The first is obvious: you want to build your own agents for your own work, tuned to how you actually do it, and never have to wait on anyone else to do it for you. The second is the one more people should be paying attention to — once you can build agents, you can sell that skill. Businesses everywhere are looking for someone who can help them actually implement AI, and almost nobody around you can do it yet. That's a real consulting practice, and the skill you'd build is exactly the thing you'd sell. You don't need to write a line of code for either path. If you can explain how a task gets done, you can build the agent that does it.

So we give the training away. A free week of hands-on training — one hour a day, live at 3 PM CST, every session recorded so you never miss one, no card required. Pick the week that fits:

September 7–11, 2026 — register by Friday, September 4 at 11:59 PM ET
September 14–18, 2026 — register by Friday, September 11 at 11:59 PM ET
September 28 – October 2, 2026 — register by Friday, September 25 at 11:59 PM ET

Go look at the shelf. Take the free one first.

But Doesn't AI Get Things Wrong?

It's the question I get more than any other — usually from the most careful, most precise people I talk to. Bookkeepers. CPAs. The people whose entire professional identity is built on getting the numbers right.

"But doesn't AI get things wrong?"

Yes. Sometimes it does. And I want to tell you why that's not the problem you think it is.

Here's the honest part first: I had the exact same worry. I'm an accountant. Precision isn't a nice-to-have in my world, it's the whole job. The idea of turning a client's books over to a machine made me genuinely nervous. If it makes a mistake and I don't catch it, that's my name on the report. So I understand the hesitation completely — and if you feel it, it means you take your work seriously. That's a good instinct, not a reason to stay on the sidelines.

What flipped it for me was a single change in how I thought about it. I stopped picturing AI as something that replaces me, and started treating it as something I review. The moment that clicked, the fear went away — because I realized I was never supposed to hand it the keys in the first place.

Let me show you the model I actually live by. I call it 80/20.

AI does 80% of the work — the repetitive, mechanical, time-eating 80%. It categorizes the transactions. It runs the reconciliations. It drafts the monthly client report. It writes the first version of the email. That's the part that used to swallow my week, and it's the part a machine is genuinely good at.

The human does the other 20% — and it's the 20% that actually matters: the decisions and the review. You are the judgment. AI is the doer. That split is the entire secret, and once you see it, the "but it gets things wrong" question basically answers itself.

Here's what that looks like in real life.

Take bookkeeping. AI will categorize a full month of transactions and propose the reconciliation in a few minutes — work that used to take me hours of clicking. But I don't rubber-stamp it. I review the exceptions, I look hard at the handful of items it flagged as unsure, and I give the final sign-off. It did the 80% — the tedious sorting. I did the 20% — the judgment calls and the last word. The books are more accurate this way, not less, because I'm spending my attention on the decisions instead of burning it on data entry.

Or take client reports and communications. AI drafts the monthly financial report and the note that goes with it. I read every one. I check the numbers against the file, I adjust the tone to fit that specific client, and then it goes out — in my voice, accurate, because I reviewed it. The draft saved me an hour. The review kept it mine.

So — does AI get things wrong? Sometimes, yes. In exactly the way a sharp new staff member does. And you would never send a first-year's work straight to a client without looking at it. So you don't send AI's either. That isn't a flaw in the system. That is the system. The review was always your job, long before AI showed up.

And here's the part most people miss, the part that makes the whole thing worth it: reviewing a good draft is dramatically faster than building from a blank page. That's where the hours come from. You're not thinking less. You're typing less. Your expertise didn't get smaller — it got pointed at the things that actually need it.

So if the thing holding you back is "I could never just trust it" — good. Don't. You're not supposed to. Keep your hands on the wheel. The only people who ever get burned are the rare few who hand it over completely and stop looking. Everyone else simply got a very fast, very tireless assistant whose work they check — and got their evenings back in the process.

That's exactly what we teach in our free week: how to build the 80% so your time goes to the 20% only you can do. It's hands-on — you'll learn to set up agents that draft and reconcile and report, with you firmly in the reviewer's seat — and you walk away with a free AI agent to keep. Completely free: one hour a day, live at 3 PM CST, every session recorded, no card. Upcoming weeks: August 31, September 7, and September 14.

AI doesn't replace your judgment. It frees it up. You stay the expert — you just stop doing the grunt work by hand.

The Gap Nobody's Talking About

Are you a business owner? Then this one's for you — pay attention, because it's happening whether or not anyone's said it to your face.

Picture two businesses on the same street. Doesn't matter what they do — pick your own world. Two accounting practices. Two law firms. Two marketing agencies. Two consultancies, design studios, bookkeeping shops, coaching businesses, contractors. Five years ago they were mirror images — same size, same kind of clients, same long hours, same good reputation. Today one of them is quietly turning work away, and the other is quietly losing it. Neither owner would tell you they made a big strategic bet. And if you asked them what changed, I'm not sure either one could point to the moment.

But I can. The difference between those two businesses comes down to a single word most people skip right over.

Using versus building.

Here's what I mean, because it matters more than it sounds — and it's true for you no matter what you sell.

Almost every business owner is now using AI. You open ChatGPT to polish a client email. You paste in a messy paragraph and ask it to clean up the tone. You have it summarize a long document so you don't have to read all twelve pages. That's real, it's useful, and honestly it's a good instinct. But notice what it is: a helper sitting off to the side. It saves you a few minutes here and there. And because everybody is doing it now, the business down the street genuinely believes it has "done AI." Checked the box. Moved on.

Then there's building. Building is a completely different animal. Building means creating agents that actually do the work — whatever the repetitive core of your business happens to be. In my world that's categorizing transactions, running reconciliations, drafting the full client report, chasing the missing receipt, answering the routine question that lands in the inbox for the hundredth time. In yours it might be intake, proposals, scheduling, follow-ups, first-draft deliverables, the report every client gets, the same twenty questions you answer every week. Building means an agent does that work and hands it back to you finished, for your review. That's not a few minutes saved. That's hours. In my own practice, the agents I've built give me back somewhere between fifteen and twenty hours a week. Not a typo. And I didn't get there with one clever tool — I've built over two hundred agents across the work we do, each one taking a piece of the repetitive load off my plate for good.

Now here's the math that separates those two businesses on the street — and it's the same math in every service industry there is.

When AI is genuinely doing your repetitive work — not helping with it, doing it — your capacity stops being capped by your own hours. That's the whole game. I doubled my client load with the same staff. Not by grinding harder, not by hiring, not by cutting corners. I built the work once and let it run. The business that's only using AI cannot do that no matter how many prompts it learns, because it's still trading hours for output. It's doing the same work slightly faster. Building means the work does itself.

And this is the part I want you to actually feel: the gap between those two businesses is small today, and it is widening every single month.

It's easy to miss right now. That's exactly what makes it dangerous. Every month, the business that's building pulls a little further ahead — a little more capacity, a little lower cost to serve each client, a little more room to actually advise and take care of people instead of just producing. Compound that over a year and the distance becomes very hard to close. Meanwhile the clients notice before the owner does. Work doesn't leave with a dramatic goodbye. It just quietly drifts toward whoever delivers faster and cleaner, and you rarely get told that's why you lost it.

So let me name the stakes plainly, because I'd rather be honest with you than comfortable — and these are true whether you keep the books, argue the cases, run the campaigns, or build the decks.

First, you lose clients to AI-enabled competitors. Not in one painful exit — in a slow drift you might not even catch until the pipeline feels thinner than it used to.

Second, you lose money to your own ceiling. Every client you can't take on because you're already at capacity is revenue sitting right there on the table, untouched. Building is how you raise that ceiling without adding a single hour or hire.

And third — the one almost nobody talks about — building opens a door that using never will. Once you can build agents, the agents themselves become something you can offer. A new revenue stream. Not just a tool you run quietly behind the scenes, but something clients will happily pay you for. The people learning to build right now aren't just protecting their businesses. They're creating a whole new line of income from a skill almost no one around them has yet.

Now here's the good news, and I mean every word of it.

The door is wide open. Building agents used to require a developer and a budget. It doesn't anymore. You do not need to write a single line of code. If you can describe how you do a task — the way you'd explain it to a new hire — you can build an agent to do it. That's the whole secret. And it's a skill you can pick up in a week, not a year.

That's the entire reason we run our free week. It is not a "here are ten prompts" webinar. It's hands-on building. You'll learn to understand it, build it, create it, and actually implement it in your own work — whatever your business is — and you'll walk away with a free AI agent to keep. It's completely free: one hour a day, live at 3 PM CST, every session recorded so you never miss a thing, no card required. The upcoming weeks are August 31, September 7, and September 14.

You don't have to be the business on the wrong side of this gap. That's not luck, and it's not talent — it's a decision. And right now, while the gap is still small and the door is still wide open, it's an easy one to make.

"I Can't Believe This Is My Life"

I said it out loud to Paul, somewhere in Alaska. I run my accounting business from an RV now — and AI is the reason I can.

We were hiking in Alaska this summer, a fishing rod in Paul's hand, a view in front of us that didn't look real, and I actually said it out loud: "I can't believe this is my life."

I've said it more than once this year — in Canada, in Alaska, in a dozen places I never thought I'd see until I retired, and certainly never on a workday. But here's the part I most want you to hear, because it's the whole point: this didn't used to be my life. Not even close.

The before

For years, my life looked like most accountants' lives. Long hours, tied to a desk. Drowning in repetitive work — the same categorizing, the same reconciliations, the same reports, over and over. And the freedom I wanted? It felt permanently out of reach, because the work simply would not let me leave. Travel was something I'd do "someday," when things slowed down. Things never slowed down.

At some point I realized "someday" is how you run out of good years. I didn't want to finally enjoy life at an age where enjoying it was harder. I wanted to enjoy it now — at an age that still lets me hike the trail and cast the line.

So on June 1st, 2025, we did it. We bought a travel trailer to pull behind our truck — and we left.

The road

Paul and I did three months on the road that first summer. This year we're doing six — June through November. Paul is the driver, the mechanic, the BBQ guy, the fisherman, and about ten other things. I'm the one who still runs a business the whole time we're out here.

Which is the question everyone asks: how? How do you run an accounting and training business from a moving vehicle in Alaska?

The honest answer is one word: AI.

How it actually works

I'm not going to pretend I do it all by hand from a campsite. I don't. AI runs an enormous share of my business now, and that's exactly what frees me up:

The bookkeeping — categorizing, reconciliations, the repetitive core — AI handles the heavy lifting.
The client reports and communications get drafted and prepped, so I'm reviewing and adding the human judgment instead of building everything from scratch.
The content and marketing — the blogs, the posts, the outreach that grows what we do — runs on AI too.
Even the agents and the training we deliver are AI at their core.

That's not a gimmick. That's the difference between being chained to a desk and standing on a trailhead. AI didn't just make my work faster — it made a completely different life possible.

The rhythm

Freedom without structure is just chaos, so we built a rhythm. I get up early and work on Texas time no matter where we are. I work honest 8-hour days. We try to take one weekday off every week. And I no longer work weekends at all — none. We only travel on certain days, and we cap how far we'll drive on a drive day, so the road never turns back into a grind.

Structure plus AI is the magic combination. The structure keeps the business healthy; the AI makes the structure possible. Nothing gets dropped. Clients are served. The lights stay on. And I'm still hiking by early afternoon.

And here's what's surprised me most: even when we're "home," we live in the travel trailer full-time now. It's a simpler life than the one I left — less stuff, less noise, fewer things tugging at me — and somehow a much fuller one. A simple life and a full adventure at the same time. Most of all, it's teaching me something the always-on version of me never knew how to do: relax.

What I actually want you to take from this

Three things, and I mean all three:

This is possible for you, too. I'm not special. I'm an accountant who learned to put AI to work. That's it.

It's not really about the AI — it's about the life it buys back. The hours, the freedom, the "I can't believe this is my life" moments. AI is just the lever. What it moves is your actual life.

Don't wait for "someday." Someday is a thief. If there's a version of your life you keep postponing until work calms down, please hear me: work will not calm down on its own. You change it. And the tool to change it has never been more within reach.

That's genuinely why we run our free week — to hand you the exact skill that made all of this possible for me. It's completely free: one hour a day, live at 3 PM CST, replays if you miss one, no card, nothing to cancel.

Right now I'm somewhere I never imagined I'd be on a Tuesday. I'd love for you to get there too.

The Two Questions I Keep Hearing — and the Free Week That Answers Both

We just added another week, because this keeps working. Here's what people are actually walking away with — and why it's the answer to the thing so many of you are quietly worried about.

We added another free week to the calendar.

We didn't plan to. We added it because the ones we've been running have been so successful — and, honestly, so rewarding — that we couldn't not make room for more people. Watching what happens when someone finally sits down and learns to use AI on their real work has been one of the best parts of building this. So if you've been on the fence, there's now one more door open.

Before I tell you why you should walk through it, let me tell you what I've actually watched happen.

The wins have been bigger than "saved some time"

Business owners are streamlining the work that used to eat their week. The repetitive, soul-draining tasks — categorizing transactions, chasing the same reports every month, re-typing the same client emails, building the same spreadsheets — are exactly what AI is best at. Owners come in buried in it and leave with a handful of those tasks handed off to an agent that does them in seconds. That's not a productivity tweak; that's getting your evenings back.

VPs and team leaders are sending their entire teams — and leaving with a plan. This one surprised even me. Finance and accounting VPs started showing up not just for themselves but with their whole departments, because they realized the real value isn't one person getting faster, it's the team getting aligned. And they don't leave with inspiration alone — they leave with an actual, written AI implementation plan for their department: what to automate first, who owns what, and how to roll it out. A week of training turns into a roadmap.

The financial sector is doing two things at once — streamlining, and building a whole new revenue stream. This is the one I get most excited about. Bookkeepers, accountants, CFOs, and firm owners come in to save time, and they do. But partway through the week, a lot of them realize the skill they're building is something their clients will pay them for. They start their week as accountants and end it seeing a new AI-advisory service line — a new stream of revenue their business didn't have on Monday.

And running quietly through all of it: the SOPs. This one sneaks up on people. Small business owners walk in to save time and walk out having finally built the standard operating procedures they've been meaning to write for years — the "how we actually do this" that had only ever lived in someone's head. AI turns a messy, in-my-head process into a clear, written SOP in minutes. For a small business, that's enormous: it's how you train a new hire in a day instead of a month, stop being the bottleneck for everything, and turn the business into something that can run without you standing over it. A week of AI training, and suddenly the whole operation is documented.

The two things I keep hearing underneath all of it

Here's what I've noticed. No matter who's in the room, two undercurrents keep coming up — sometimes said out loud, more often not.

The first: "I'm worried about my job." People see AI moving fast and quietly wonder if it's coming for them. I understand the fear. But here's the truth I keep coming back to — AI is not replacing accountants. Accountants who use AI are replacing accountants who don't. The single best way to protect your career is to become the person in your office who wields these tools fluently, instead of the person who's nervous about them. This free week is exactly how you become that person. The fear and the answer are in the same room.

The second: "I want to have my own business." So many of you have a quiet dream of working for yourself — a bookkeeping practice, a fractional CFO service, a consultancy of your own. And you're looking for the thing that would finally make it viable. This is that thing. You could open your own AI consulting firm. Helping businesses actually implement AI in their finances is a real, in-demand service, and people are paying good money for it right now — because most owners know they should be using AI and have no idea where to start. AI is the lever that lets one person deliver like a whole team, and the expertise you'd build in this free week is exactly what you'd sell. The skill isn't just a personal upgrade — for the aspiring owner, it's the entire business.

Worried about your job, or dreaming of your own business? It's the same answer. Learn this now.

Reasons to actually take the week

It costs you nothing. Genuinely free — no credit card, nothing to cancel.
It's one hour a day. Live at 3 PM CST, Monday through Friday. Miss a day? Every session is recorded.
It's hands-on. You won't just watch. You'll learn to understand, build, create, and implement AI on real accounting and finance work.
You can bring your team. Just have each person register individually so everyone gets their own access — VPs, this is your implementation-plan week.
You'll pick a free AI agent to start with, so you leave with something working, not just notes.
You'll have me. If you get stuck or have a question, you reply and I answer — every message, myself.

The week is open

Upcoming weeks: Aug 31–Sep 4, Sep 7–11, and the newly added Sep 14–18. One hour a day, live at 3 PM CST, replays included, no card.

The Math on "I'm Too Busy"

One hour a day for one week. Here is what it actually returns — for you, your team, your business, and anyone building something new.

I hear the same three words more than any others: "I'm too busy."

I understand it. Everyone is busy. But I want to gently push on that, because "busy" is not a reason to skip learning AI — it is the exact symptom that learning AI fixes. Being too busy to learn the thing that gives you your time back is like being too thirsty to stop for water.

So let's not do a pep talk. Let's do the math.

First, the part nobody gets to opt out of

The world is not waiting for anyone to feel ready. AI has already stopped being a "someday" skill and become a baseline one — the way spreadsheets did in the 90s and email did before that. Nobody put "proficient in Excel" on a pedestal for long; it just quietly became the price of admission. AI is on that same curve, only faster.

That means there are about to be two groups of professionals: the ones who use AI fluently, and the ones who compete against the ones who use AI fluently. The gap between them is not talent. It is a few hours of learning that one group made time for and the other kept postponing.

Widely cited research already shows where this lands. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis found that people using generative AI at work were saving meaningful chunks of their week. A landmark Stanford/MIT field study (Brynjolfsson, Li, and Raymond) measured a 14% average productivity jump, and up to 34% for less-experienced workers — AI lifts the newer people the most. A Nielsen Norman Group review of controlled studies found an average 66% increase in throughput on business tasks. McKinsey estimates generative AI could automate work that absorbs 60–70% of employees' time today.

You don't need to trust any single number. The direction is not in dispute. So the only real question is which side of the gap you want to be standing on — and how cheaply you can get to the right side.

Turns out: very cheaply.

The investment

One free week. One hour a day. Live at 3 PM CST, replays if you miss it, no credit card, nothing to cancel.

That's five hours. Hold that number, because everything below is measured against it.

What it returns for you (the individual)

Once you actually know how to point AI at your work, the tasks that eat your day start to collapse: categorizing transactions, prepping reconciliations, drafting client emails, building the monthly report, writing the SOP you've been meaning to write for a year, turning a messy spreadsheet into a clean analysis in seconds instead of an afternoon.

Let's be conservative and say that once trained, you claw back 6 hours a week. (Given the research above, that's a modest estimate, not an optimistic one.)

Illustrative math — the individual

Invest: 5 hours (one free week)

Return: 6 hours/week × 50 weeks = 300 hours a year

At a $75/hour value of your time: ≈ $22,500 a year

Time return on the five hours you invested: 60×

Three hundred hours is not an abstraction. It is seven and a half full work weeks handed back to you every year — for the price of five hours of learning. That is the answer to "I'm too busy." You are too busy because you haven't done this yet.

What it returns for your team

Now stop imagining one person and picture five.

Illustrative math — a 5-person team

6 hours/week saved × 5 people = 30 hours/week

1,500 hours a year — roughly three-quarters of a full-time employee recovered without hiring anyone

At $75/hour, that's ≈ $112,500 a year in capacity you already have and aren't using

This is the number that changes how a team is run. You either use those hours to take on more work, or you stop drowning — but you no longer have to choose between the two, and you no longer have to post a job req to get there. Bring your team to the free week together and everyone speaks the same language by Friday.

What it returns for your business

For a business, saved hours turn into two things owners actually care about: capacity and cash.

Capacity, because the same team can now serve more clients without adding cost. If a firm doing $500K can handle even 20% more volume with the staff it already has, that's +$100,000 in revenue at almost zero marginal cost — the most profitable growth there is.

Cash, because the close happens faster, invoices go out sooner, errors that used to trigger rework get caught on the first pass, and the reports that inform decisions show up while the decisions still matter. Speed at the operational layer shows up as money at the bottom of the page.

What it returns for the builder — and this is the big one

Here is the part I care about most, because it's the one changing lives right now.

A lot of people aren't just trying to save time at their current job. They're trying to build something — a bookkeeping practice, a fractional CFO service, a brand-new AI consulting business. I'm watching accountants and bookkeepers reinvent themselves this year as the person their peers pay to learn what you're about to learn for free.

The math here isn't about hours saved. It's about income created.

Illustrative math — the AI consultant / new business

A single AI-implementation project for a small business commonly runs $2,000–$10,000.

An ongoing "AI advisor" retainer commonly runs $1,000–$3,000 a month.

Land one $2,000/month retainer client from what you learned in the free week: $24,000 a year.

Land three: six figures — from a five-hour investment.

The skill you pick up in the free week isn't just a personal upgrade. For the builder, it is the product. You are not spending a week learning software. You are spending a week acquiring the thing you'll turn around and sell.

So let's go back to "busy"

Every week you wait, this gets more expensive — not in dollars, in position. The people who started six months ago aren't six months ahead; they're compounding ahead, because the fluency builds on itself. Early movers in a shift like this one don't stay slightly ahead. They become the ones everyone else has to catch.

And the entire cost of moving is five hours you'll earn back in the first week of actually using what you learned.

What do you have to lose? It's free. It's one hour a day. There's a replay if life happens. There's no card and nothing to cancel. And if you have a question, you can book fifteen minutes with me or just reply — I read and answer everything myself. I know not everyone trusts the word "free." That's fair. You just haven't met us yet.
