Meet Dave.
He's an accountant. He also has 47 other jobs.

Dave runs a small CPA firm. Everything that isn't accounting lands on his desk, and it keeps eating family dinners.

Tuesday, take one

A normal Tuesday for Dave

Every firm owner has a version of this day.

Dave at his desk early in the morning
6:40 am
CPE & compliance

Pancakes, plus a compliance scare

Mia wants pancakes. Dave's license renews in three weeks, and his CPE record is a folder of files called "certificate (7).pdf".

"Did I actually get those credits?"

10:00 am
Training

Training the new hire. Again.

The new associate has questions about lease accounting. Dave is the whole training department, so a quick answer takes 90 minutes.

"Who trained me? Oh, right. Nobody."

1:30 pm
Staffing

Two deadlines, one senior out sick

Returns are due Friday. The job post has three applicants, and one thinks a CPA is a fitness certification.

"Can someone else handle this? Anyone?"

Sarah Don't forget, Mia's play is at 6! Wouldn't miss it.
4:00 pm
Tech & AI

The AI tool that was supposed to save time

A peer swore by it. Dave spends two hours testing it, then does the reconciliation by hand.

"Is this supposed to make my life easier?"

6:00 pm
Family

The curtain goes up

Mia is a very committed tree in the school play. Dave is in the office parking lot on a "five-minute" client call.

7:45 pm
Marketing

LinkedIn posts at the kitchen counter

The website still lists services from 2019. Dave drafts a LinkedIn post next to a plate of cold pasta.

"Great work. Now how do people find us?"

Sarah We saved you a plate. Mia saved you a drawing.

9:30 pm. Mia's drawing of the play is on the fridge, with a Dave-sized gap in the front row. He'd like to see the second act.

Dave, ready to hand off the extra work
Then Dave called MYCPE ONE

He handed off the jobs he never applied for

MYCPE ONE took the side jobs off Dave's desk. Dave kept the accounting and got his evenings back.

Tuesday, take two

Same Tuesday, a few months later

Same firm, same clients, same Friday deadline, same Mia.

CPE & compliance

Pancakes, sitting down

One platform earns and tracks his credits against his state's rules. Nothing to chase.

Learning & development

The new hire has a learning path

Courses in tax, audit, technology and leadership do the teaching. Dave handles the judgment calls.

90 minutes at the whiteboard

Offshore support

Extra hands, already trained

A dedicated offshore team preps Friday's returns. Dave reviews them. Lunch happens at a table.

Three applicants and a sick senior

AI & technology

AI that does the boring part

AI set up for accountants handles summaries, sorting, reports and odd-entry flags. Dave checks the output.

Two hours testing a tool, then doing it by hand

Digital marketing

The website works while Dave goes home

The site is current and LinkedIn posts go out weekly. Inquiries arrive without Dave writing a caption.

Cold pasta and a half-written post

Dave, happy and off the clock
6:15 pm

Dave made the play. Front row.

He's the blurry one in every photo, waving at the tree. Dinner was hot.

Sarah Who are you and what have you done with my husband? Same guy. Fewer jobs.
"Turns out I still love accounting. I just needed it to be my only job."
