In this episode, I break down the 10 biggest hiring mistakes I made running an accounting firm, including how my thinking changed around trial days, offshore hiring, admin roles, delegation structure, and paying for talent. Then I help a non-accountant who just bought a legacy firm build a practical tech stack, focusing on quick wins like 1040 intake automation and month-end close tools before attempting a practice management overhaul. We close with an AI-heavy mailbag on Claude Cowork, OpenClaw, the future of AI agents, and why most firms still shouldn’t be using the newest tools with client data yet.
