I’ve audited dozens of 7-figure tax firms.
Here’s the $100k decision most partners neglect as an "admin detail". 👇🏽

Let's be honest:

It's not until your team spends 20 minutes in every meeting hunting for the right working paper...

Or until the partner reviews the wrong version of the tax return because three drafts all look the same....

Or until a deadline is missed because the signed e-file authorization was buried in someone’s personal folder called “To Upload – NEW NEW FINAL.”

That you realize how important folder structures and file names are.

Here’s what really happens:

Senior A organized everything as Client → Year → Service.

Senior B did Year → Service → Client.

Admin C kept their own hidden system on their desktop.

Everyone named files differently:
“2024 Return – FINAL 2”
“Jones_1040_v3_Really_Final”
“JONES TAX PACKAGE – SIGNED (1)(1)”

Nobody talked. 
Nobody agreed. 
Nobody documented the standard.

The result? Every engagement turned into a hunt for the right file.

New hires need months just to “learn where things live.”

Reviews take twice as long because half the time is spent finding documents instead of checking them.

The $100K isn't just staff hours.
 
It is:
→ Write-downs on jobs that ran way over budget
→ Frustrated clients wondering why the firm “keeps asking for the same documents”
→ Delayed filings and last-minute fire drills every busy season
→ Burned-out teams drowning in rework and version confusion

My hard rule now: 
**Pick one structure and naming convention and defend it religiously.**

One folder tree for the whole firm.

Clear, simple patterns like: Client → Year → Service → Workpaper Type.

Consistent file names that tell you exactly what’s inside and what version it is.

Document it. Automate it. Enforce it. Make it non-negotiable.

Every operational decision you don’t standardize early becomes exponentially expensive later.

Your folder and naming strategy isn’t an “admin decision”; it’s a capacity, profitability, and sanity decision.

What “simple” back-office choice is quietly costing your firm the most right now?

2025 is getting weird. I tried to hire a contractor. I ended up hiring their AI. 

Here's the story:

Today, I hired a contractor online. Paid upfront. Standard self-checkout flow.

Then an AI assistant popped up and asked for context on the problem I was trying to solve.

So I gave it the context… and it immediately gave me the exact solution I needed.

I tested it.
It worked.
Problem solved.

Next screen: “Provide additional context so your contractor can begin.”

And I’m sitting there thinking, “Uh… there is no work left to do.”

Here’s the crazy part:

I wasn’t annoyed. I was actually happy to pay—because my problem got solved.

But the whole moment snapped something into focus for me:
➡️ The real value of a services firm isn’t hours or tasks.
➡️ It’s the data—the collective memory of every problem we’ve already solved.
➡️ And AI can increasingly tap into that knowledge and deliver answers instantly.

It made me wonder:

Where are we (as service providers) adding unnecessary friction?

What problems could clients solve themselves if we gave them the right experience, tools, or context?

And how much more valuable would our work become if our “knowledge exhaust” was actually accessible?

This experience felt strange… but also like a preview.

Perhaps a glimpse into how digital services and expertise will be sold in the future.

The human hasn’t even started, and somehow he’s already done. Wild times.

The accounting tech landscape has changed fast, faster than most firms can keep up with. New tools, new AI features, new automations, and new workflows have reshaped what’s possible for modern accounting practices.

That’s why we’re bringing back one of last year’s most popular livestreams but this time, with a fresh look at the top innovations shaping 2025.

Join Isaac Perdomo (Opzer) and Chad Davis (Automation Town / Cloud Accounting Pioneer) as they break down their personal top 10 most impactful tech releases and discoveries of the year and what they mean for your firm.

Gifts go a long way — especially in the workplace.

At Opzer, we onboarded a new consultant, and during the interview process I learned she’s into kitesurfing.

So for her first day, I put together a small, personal welcome gift tied to that passion.

Inside the package was this note:
“Stoked you’re onboard!
 Let’s make waves together — pun absolutely intended :)
 … Isaac”

A simple gesture. 

People remember how you make them feel.

When you show genuine care, they bring genuine care to their work.

What’s one small, thoughtful thing you do to make your people feel valued?

Spreadsheets aren’t the villain.
But they do become the bottleneck.

Early on, when a process is young, sheets are perfect.
Fast, flexible, forgiving.

But they start to fail when you need:

● Relations across clients/projects/documents
● Permissions
● Audit trails
● Automated triggers
● Reliable reporting

This is when firms all say the same thing:
“We have data everywhere, and nowhere works.”

Airtable fixes that gap.
It's where teams graduate when Sheets stop scaling.

Not Excel vs Airtable.
It’s startup ops vs systems ops.

Know when to evolve.

I walk through 5 different use cases for accounting firms in the video below:

Hi,
I am Isaac P., co-founder @Opzer.
Accounting firms follow me to stay ahead of their peers in the AI & Automation game.

Most firms only start using AI after someone becomes a client.

But one of the most valuable use cases happens way earlier,
the moment a prospect shows up.

When someone books a call or sends an inquiry, 
you usually get the basics:

a name,
maybe a company,
sometimes… that’s it.

But with just that, 
AI can go surprisingly far.

It can research really well & real fast.

I’ve seen it pull things like:

▶tools they use
▶their past roles
▶personal interests
▶their social profiles
▶what the company does
▶revenue, size, recent changes

And it turns all of that into a clean, 
one-minute brief before the call.

So instead of starting with:
“Tell me about your business…”

You start with:
“Here’s what I know about you, would you add anything to that?”

That shift changes the whole conversation.
They feel you’ve prepared & builds trust.

And for most firms, it’s an easy win they’re not using yet.
Should I share a real example of what this looks like?
