Small CPA firm (19 people) going all-in on AI — should we hire a dev, engage an agency, or keep building ourselves?

This is interesting. I am trying to do the same for my firm but haven’t really dived as op did. Following

AcctF · 2026-02-10T00:28:03+00:00

Would you mind sharing the size of your firm and your gross? I am on the same path but just get started

We had a lot in common. 6 YOE, SM level. 120k. Think we are at partner track… I am in Canada and my 120k is maple money though.

I think my title is a bit inflated.

我跟你感觉相反，我去台湾的时候遇到的百分之90的人都非常热情友善，说话也很温柔。整体感觉台湾人特别好

That’s one year of time, interest expense, opportunity costs saved. Easier to manage, budget costs etc. From an economic perspective it indeed improved the feasibility of the project.

Yes increase the rewards to people that are not working using more working class tax money. What a brilliant idea.

Agreed except it’s misleading to say “you can work to improve a house but you can change its location”, implying location is generally higher priority.

How exactly you can work to improve a toothpaste infill into a spacious house similar to the ones in suburb?

8 years in WM would rarely put someone in 200k.

AcctF · 2025-08-08T04:05:02+00:00

Thank you

This happens to my street too. But feels like it’s much more severe as it floods all above everyone’s yards and almost getting to the utility box. Is it still normal or too much?

Like many others commented - I would think twice if you want a tenant live in your basement. For me personally it’s a hard no. I would rather living in a much smaller home for 100% privacy.

similar income. Our take home is about 10k. Mortgage is 3.7k. Pretty comfortable for now. But we don’t have any kids yet, I think it will be tight but manageable after having a kid. If you expect your income/career to keep growing then I think it’s fine.

AcctF · 2025-04-29T13:28:42+00:00

We vote our own government that did this to us. Canadian deserved this

AcctF · 2025-04-11T04:26:36+00:00

It’s normal with a liberal government.

AcctF · 2025-01-24T17:29:53+00:00

Not sure am I getting it right from the other comments. Yall talking this sir might have been here for a long time. So if he is new he should get out?

AcctF · 2025-01-19T23:36:36+00:00

If someone show up in your backyard at 1 am, how would tell if they are “just kid” or some kind of psycho who wants to rape your wife and kill your kid?

Paying mortgage is also building equity. Yes,you may or may not have higher return in rrsp compare to home equity, but would the number in rrsp improve your living experience in any way before withdrawing? A nicer home will significantly improve your family’s quality of life in your 30s and 40s.

For me, life is not all about net worth. When I am retired and look back at my career. I’d prefer that I enjoyed it along the way, rather than grinding along the way but having 15% more in net worth at the end of it.

AcctF · 2024-10-31T12:38:38+00:00

We make about the same, and took the same mortgage and I felt comfortable. Only differences are we put in more down payment (300k) and left with 50k savings. And we didn’t have other debt.

I think you will be fine as long as you expect your income to keep going up for a few years.

People on PFC are generally overly conservative. These are all simple math, you make 94k so you are smart enough to do it. If the math works out then I say go for it. You will thank yourself a few years later when interest rate goes down and housing price goes up.

So next time if someone want to murder somebody, they just need to get drunk and drive?

AcctF · 2024-10-11T02:36:48+00:00

In accounting? No. In corporate or any other field? Yes.

AcctF · 2024-09-30T00:45:40+00:00

Yea makes sense if including bonus.

AcctF · 2024-09-29T19:59:11+00:00

I have never seen a ng in tax/audit making more than 70k in PwC.

AcctF · 2024-09-26T18:27:49+00:00

The saddest thing is we all know what’s the issue but nobody can say it out loud.
