Blake and David break down the \"Big Beautiful Bill\" and reveal who really benefits—spoiler alert: it's not the middle class or the national debt. They explore QuickBooks' aggressive new AI agents rollout with price hikes up to 17%, examine why Tesla's CPA CFO earned $139 million in one year, and uncover how tariff-stressed businesses are weaponizing invoice rejections to manage cash flow. You'll discover why the time-based billing model is fundamentally broken in accounting, learn about the emerging \"Next 12\" tier of accounting firms, and understand why partners work the most hours while achieving only 6.9/10 job satisfaction.Chapters Show NotesDo Americans Support Trump's 'Big, Beautiful' Budget Package?
