Included with membership

The Vault

Finished, download-and-use tools, not courses: workflows, prompt sets, skills, templates, checklists, and working apps. Web and desktop accounting and tax software you run in your own firm, built to take the place of tools you're paying for in your stack today.

Each comes with its compliance wrapper attached: the §7216 consent language, the WISP paragraph, and a setup sheet. New ones land every month, built from the real tax and accounting work we do. It lives in our private GitHub library, and your membership is your invite in. Yours to keep.

Included with membership

The Member Brief

A members-only email every week, written for people who sign returns. Three parts:

The week, read closely

Three or four things that actually moved, with the numbers named and the vendor claims marked as claims. Not a feed. What it changes for a firm like yours, and where the line sits between the part software can sort and the part a licensed person still has to judge and sign.

From Wednesday's Lab

What came out of the weekly call, written up: what a member built, what it replaced, what it cost them, and where they kept a person in the loop. If you missed the call, you still get the build.

More to read

Everything else worth knowing, a line each: releases, vendor terms that changed, regulatory notes, and the tools your clients can now run without you. Enough to know whether to go look.

Members read every back issue at /brief, so a week you miss is still a week you can read.

No membership needed: anyone can book an AI Review with Charlie, a 90-minute call and a written report on where AI fits your firm, with implementation scoped and quoted from there.

Founding rates lock for life while your membership stays active. Cancel and come back, and you rejoin at the current rate. Prices go up for members who join later; yours stays where you locked it.

The Vault keeps growing. New tools and apps land every month, built from the real tax and accounting work we do and wrapped with the compliance language you need. We are always adding and always innovating; what's on the shelf today is a starting point, and it keeps filling for as long as you're a member.
