    We Tested AI in Our Tax Firms: Here's What Works & What Doesn't

    Yehuda Tenenbaum, EA and I sat down with no script and one topic: AI and taxes. What came out is an honest look at what these tools do for a tax firm today, and what's still just hype. We break down where AI is genuinely delivering value in tax and accounting, where it's falling short, and what firm owners actually need to know before investing time or money into these tools. In this episode, we cover:Why AI summarization is "overrated" and what to demand insteadThe real use case that could replace your tax software entirelyDIY builds (like custom Claude tools) vs. productized solutions - which makes more sense for your firm?The "token shortage" concept and why it matters for the future of AI pricingHonest takes on tools like Claude, Juno, TaxDome's Atlas, and PingWhy the "you'll be left behind" fear-mongering around AI is often overblownWhat success actually looks like for a tax firm owner and why it's more than just tech adoption Whether you're an early AI adopter or still figuring out where to start, this conversation gives you a grounded, practitioner-level perspective on what's real, what's not, and where to focus your attention.
