Sharing this because it is the real deal.

A friend of mine, Yvonne Razo, just opened Accounting with AI. It is a 4-week group coaching sprint for accountants, bookkeepers, and firm leaders. Yvonne has 30+ years of accounting and tax experience, so this is built by someone who has actually done the work.

What makes it different:

Every firm that joins gets a custom AI agent built for their practice. Free. Included. Normally a $3,500 build.

4 Wednesdays in May.
$500/month (Yvonne's private rate is $1,000/hr).
No fluff. No "future of AI" theory.

You come in with a workflow that is eating your life. You leave with an AI agent that handles it.

Group coaching built for accountants, bookkeepers, and accounting firm leaders who want to become AI operators — not get left behind.

this is a disgrace. we should all as human beings be horrified by this, but no, life goes on as it doesn't impact us. why do we allow people like Putin and Netayahu persist in their power games at the expense of innocent people - unfortunately mainly woman and children?

My fellow health and humanitarian workers are reeling at Zomi Frankcom's death. But what of our friends and colleagues who've already been killed?
