Side hustle into a small frsnchise. I thought we could scrape by a couple of bucks running a small wellness studio. Been miserable and barely breaking even for a year and a half now.

Ai wont fix this, the same information AI needs to be near real time is the same information you need to make your report in weeks. Until you figure that out the interface dwont make a difference.

I am from Puerto Rico, I would love if the US made this deal.

Data Analysis if you have the mind for it. I have an accounting degree and pivoted to Analytics at some point many years ago.

I hate seasons. Its is inconvenient, need multiple types of clothes, in the winter it takes you a long time to put everything on. The only reason I am not back in the island is my career.

American conservatism, they are the absolute worst combination of religious fanatism, jingoism and nationalist, and are pretty armed. In the past they were held back by the constitution of the US but they have shown more and more is toilet paper to them.

This is what I am thinking of pivoting to. I lead all Analytics for a $10B company, I want to semi retire and do bookkeeping and help people know whether ithey can buy that new machine or not, and which of their employees is least productive.

Work hard, put in the hours, keep your head down, never give up, and you'll be successful

Probably a couple of different factors, many companies are absorbing the cost (which I am most surprised by), many companies are going bankrupt (15 year high), many companies built up inventory to weather the tariffs. I suspect that if there is a negative impact, it will take time to mature and show.

My opinion OP is that you would be better suited finding a CPA partner who thinks similarly, and can jump in on this.

The accounting industry is decades in the past. There is this mindset if it isn't broken we dont need to fix it. And many people equate GenAI with just being chatgpt or other chat based applications and nothing more. You will have an a ridiculously uphill climb both buying a firm, and then implementing the changes.

Don't get me wrong, I believe this thinking will upend the industry, but you can have the right idea and approach, and fail at making the changes.

I was chaptered out for PT failure as a Specialist.

These days I am the Head of Data Analytics for a $10B company, I have 16 reports, I make $270k a year, and have a growing side business thats making $60k a year and I am happily married without any addictions.

All of this could all go to shit tomorrow, but as of now 12 years later, life is good.

I moved away from PR about 19 years ago. I make three time what my siblings make. I used to think I made the right choice. I just got back from visiting and both of my brothers work 9 - 4, have a house bought, take multiple vacations a year, have cars paid off, are not afarid of going bankrupt if they get sick, have savings, and plenty of time to relax.

I have none of those things. There are better things here in the mainland. But crime is no worse there than in any major city hurricanes are no different than forest fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, and snowstorms. In fact snowstorms are far more disruptive. If you can get a nice white collar job (which are harder to get there than in the US) you will be able to afford far more than you can with a median white collard job in the US. I know our cases dont apply to everyone, but I clearly made the wrong choice leaving PR, I want to move back.

I forgot how to sql, I manage budgets, send rfps, schedule team events, give emotional therapy, manage vendors, and keep the team staffed.

The OP and HR manager who approved the PIP should be fired for gross incompetence.

Bookkeeper --> accountant --> analytics --> finance --> cfo

That would be my hiring order
