I can't believe this is still an accounting job.

I can't believe this is still an accounting job.

I spent four years getting my CPA. Now I spend four hours a day chasing people for W-2s.


"Did you get my email?" "Just following up." "Quick reminder." Over and over. Every January.

That's not accounting. That's being a professional nag.


I switched to Canopy. The AI builds my intake checklists from last year's returns. Reminders send themselves. Clients get nudged until they upload what I need. I didn't send a single follow-up email this season.


Now I do actual accounting. Weird how that works.
