@georgevov @ankurnagpal what?!?! why do you get 0%?

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

@NotGoKGreen I'm just looking for some type of idea what what to expect, before I just blindly pay money for a service? do you have any metrics?

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

In all honesty, praise God.

“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth...” — Deuteronomy 8:18

I joke about where the leads are coming from, but I’m genuinely grateful for every opportunity and every client I get to help.

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

Time to round up all the local CPAs and take them out to a nice dinner at Fleming’s.

They’ve been my #1 source of leads this year.

Their sh*t work keeps driving clients straight to me.

@patrickdichter I guess, but a tax only firm really kind of sucks. It's just all compliance work.

@GenZMultifamily Another reason I built my own bookkeeping software, to be able to handle all my clients books. I'm added multi rental property capability as well.

Near the end of FedEx, I thought about becoming a real estate agent.

I asked to go from full time to part time so I could get my license.

They said no. Full time or quit.

So I quit.

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

A big part of my journey started back in 2014.

I was driving a FedEx truck on Christmas Eve. Dark, raining, barely any heat, no defrost, and the windshield wipers weren't working very well.

I remember wondering, "Why am I doing this?"

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

@GenZMultifamily I never thought of it like that. I mean I guess you could just turn on a. $200 sub every march and try to just get it all done then... but you still can just like self file a return into the e file. And you still don't want to be putting self filed on your return

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

@b4dgerr Yeah I'm following you, so keep us updated.

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

@GenZMultifamily I heard opus is smarter than all accountants. lol

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

@AlastorGlobal Thanks you! Gotcha!!! I got it to work in cursor, so it's using the api credit for me. just to finish some work up I had.

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

Does anyone know if you can use these credits in claude code? I'm having a hard time using them, by logging into the developer console, it says I don't have a balance.

@halenhargreevs Find the owner

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

@GenZMultifamily I hear ya! I still do mine, but I prepare taxes for a living, so I still somewhat enjoy it. lol

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

@CorbensLife Just got off a call with a new client, that had issues with every accountant in town!!!

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

A lot of people market themselves as tax planners or tax strategists.

At the end of the day, I think I’m really just a tax therapist.

“Okay. Tell me what happened.”

“And when did you first realize you weren't a S-Corp?”

[Timothy LeGendre @timthecpa]

Are there really accountants out there putting basically everything through a "shareholder loan" and running $5k a year of “reasonable comp”?

I just reviewed a return that was absolutely wild.
