Financial statements become much more useful when you stop treating them like something to review only at tax time.

A few simple habits can help you understand your numbers, recognize trends earlier, and make better business decisions.

In this new article, I also share how that thinking led to Hoot & Profit and why consistency matters more than trying to learn everything at once.

If you're using AI in your tax or accounting practice, how should you talk to clients about it?

That's the focus of this week's Financially Fit Business podcast with Les Brown.

We discuss why AI use should be communicated before the work begins, why client acknowledgment can help create a clear process, and why AI-generated work still needs professional review.

We also tie together the three-part series around responsible AI use, client data protection, value pricing, and the role of professional judgment.

AI may change how quickly the work gets done, but it doesn't replace the expertise your clients are paying for.

What happens to hourly billing when AI lets you complete work in a fraction of the time?

The work may take less time, but that doesn’t mean it provides less value.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Les Bryson, we look at how AI and automation are changing the economics of accounting work and why this may be the right time for firms to reconsider traditional hourly billing.

We also talk about something clients really appreciate: knowing what they’re going to pay before the bill arrives.

Predictable pricing can make budgeting easier and may even make clients more comfortable calling you when they need advice.

Part 3 is coming next week as we continue looking at what the IRS guidance means for tax and accounting professionals using AI.

AI is reducing the time accounting work takes. Les Bryson explains why fixed fee pricing may offer firms and clients a better model.

Are you using AI in your tax or accounting work?

Then there’s another question worth asking: What process do you have for checking its work?

I talked with tax consulting veteran Les Bryson about IRS guidance addressing AI use in federal tax practice.

We discuss verification, written review processes, protecting client data, and why AI should support your expertise rather than replace it.

This is Part 1 of our three-part conversation.

Part 2 is coming tomorrow, when Les and I tackle what AI could mean for the traditional billable-hour model.

What does IRS AI guidance mean for tax professionals? Les Bryson explains verification, competence, workflows and client data.

What happens when AI completes in 30 minutes what once took your accounting team 40 hours?

Do you bill the client for 40 hours? Thirty minutes? Or is it time to stop pricing the work primarily by the hour?

That's what I'm talking about in this week's Financially Fit Business podcast.

I share why I think value pricing deserves a serious look, how predictable pricing can improve the client relationship, and why your firm's profitability still has to come first.

I also get into another interesting question: if we're changing how clients pay for the work, should we eventually rethink how we measure team productivity too?

It's a different way of looking at an industry that's changing very quickly.
