 Is AI going to replace service companies… or make the best ones unstoppable? In this episode of Unemployable, Jeff Dudan sits down with Matt Tait, CEO of Decimal, to talk about the real future of accounting, bookkeeping, and tax—and why “AI-only” businesses struggle without trust, accountability, and credibility. We get into: - Why the winners won’t be pure tech OR old-school firms (the hybrid model wins) - How AI is compressing software cycles from years… to months… to days - What small business owners actually need (hint: not more spreadsheets) - Outsourcing + global teams (Philippines/India/South America) and where it’s heading - Why most owners don’t even open their P&L—and what to do about it - The advisory that matters: KPIs, margin leaks, pricing, payroll, and exit readiness - Benchmarking traps: “average” doesn’t mean “good” - What Decimal is building: an AI-enabled bookkeeping + tax franchise model
