Hey, Accounting Pros!
Welcome back to AI Accounting Daily.
The Fed just cut rates, and the real warning sign is hidden. Your clients think this helps them, but the data says something else. The Navy is now recruiting AI talent on aircraft carriers, not campuses. Those are the same people you want building your firm’s next AI tools. Meanwhile, your support team is losing a day to clicks, and the fix is hiding.

I stopped being the W-9 police.

I stopped being the W-9 police.

Half my job was chasing paper. Emailing vendors. Re-emailing vendors. Calling vendors who ignored my emails. "Hi, just following up on that W-9?"


I sent 47 messages a week asking for the same form. I felt like a collections agent, except the thing I was collecting was free.


That's not finance. That's unpaid admin work with a dress code.

Tracks who responded. Validates the TIN automatically. I stopped chasing. Nobody missed me.


Tax1099 handles the paperwork. I handle the work.
