Eric asks: "Tax season is destroying me. My CPA asked for a simple summary. It should have taken an hour, but it's taken three days. My CPA warned me she'll need extra time—that's $200 extra. What does your record keeping system look like for someone who doesn't want a full bookkeeper?"

In this episode, Scott reframes Eric's problem (you're worried about $200 but burning thousands in time), explains why business owners spend $10,000 of time to save $2,500, and shares a vibe coding example of a business owner spending hours prompting AI to replace $3,000/year software. You'll learn the love/okay/loathe framework, why you need to let go of things you're not good at, and what a real bookkeeping system looks like (weekly calendar block).

The bottom line: Either hire a bookkeeper or block it on your calendar weekly. Stop spending thousands of your time to save hundreds.
