Tax season condenses months of work into two hectic weeks, leaving tax professionals stuck entering data into outdated systems instead of thinking strategically. Seeing this from outside the industry, Cody Sugarman founded Abacus to challenge a decades-old infrastructure problem. In this episode, Paul Peterson and Matt Barbieri speak with Cody about what he observed, what he built, and why firms that modernize now will move ahead.

Key Takeaways:

Why mid-market firms are best positioned to lead with AI
How Abacus automates complex returns
How AI preserves client knowledge when staff changes
Why offshoring is losing its cost advantage
The ownership mindset accountants need to succeed in the AI era.
