I have had one of those goodwill desks in my life come on now

“At my grandparents place, after the last fish went missing…” @themountaingoats.bsky.social does it again it’s my first spin through one of his novels, but hot dog it is great. World In White Van is just starting but I’m fully on board.

Sitting next to some PE guys at the bar in the airport lounge. They are talking AI and how great copilot is. Good vibes my way that I don’t butt in to talk trash on copilot and expound on the merits of Claude.

Yeah we’re on Workspace honestly just for ease of use. I still have an MS sub pretty much just for Excel because I’m used to it but getting away from MS makes life simpler overall

A client wants to meet on teams, I usually say no. Unfortunately my accountants (yeah I don’t do my own taxes sue me) love teams.

I've spent a lot of time in hospital waiting rooms this week and I gotta say there are an alarming number of home renovation shows on TV.

Those were the days. Sticking the fear of god or at least the fear of the audit charter into my clients hearts and minds.

Matt Croce @mattcroce.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Better yet just don’t talk to your clients

Yes a bit of a medical issue with my dad. Flew in Sunday, surgery was finally yesterday. He did great and is recovering now.

Unexpectedly finding myself in Orlando this week. The timing is…tough.

It’s awful. Unfortunately we’re deep in their ecosystem. I grind my teeth every month when I see the credit card charge for the qbo subscriptions.

The more AI garbage I see the more I believe it: Intuit doesn’t know the first thing about bookkeeping.

Ohhh our team are big Loomers but I didn’t get that email!

Matt Croce @mattcroce.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

really wish gusto would quit sending all my clients the "you may qualify for a tax credit" email. creates a lot of extra work for me when I have to deal with all the clients emails!

feels like a sour patch kid kinda day

Turned my phone off today for the first time in…months?

Matt Croce @mattcroce.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Feeling behind this year so I built a stupid graph to compare to last year. We're a tiny tax shop so we'll get it all done. Turns out we're just a bit ahead of the same date last year. Should get some more filed today as well. Texas needs to get their act together fercryinoutloud.

Working on this too. It’s been rough for me.

I’ll always remember the first time I heard this song on a cd driving around in my car. Stopped to listen to it in distracted. This is a great album if you like that kind of thing.

I’m pretty big on string cheese and Triscuits for desk meals

Texas still isn’t ready to accept 1065s or 1120ss or extensions???

I read this last night. Incredible stuff.

Can’t wait for the absolute fresh hell this will unleash in the software

I really want to see AI do intercompany JEs, accruals, etc. Seriously, please do it for me. If you can allocate payroll across companies and it’s never the same each time, I would actually love it. I’m sure a half dozen stupid apps exist that claim to do this please don’t spam me.

I know it’s spring ball but seeing Konnor Griffin crushing dingers is just about perfect

They will in fact become even dumber even faster

Matt Croce @mattcroce.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Ha! Let me know when they pass that legislation.

Matt Croce @mattcroce.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Just got a “Hey Matt - AI is making bookkeeping automatic and free and will kill businesses like yours” email and all I could think was ma if you can make bookkeeping completely automated then more power to you. How many promises just like that have been made over the last 5+ years?

Matt Croce @mattcroce.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Should we put S Corps are dumb on your tombstone? I made the S election a few years ago and every year I think this is the year I’ll unwind it. But here we are. In happier news: how about that Konnor Griffin? Can’t wait to see him in Pittsburgh.

Matt Croce @mattcroce.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Anyone else getting a flag that form 4562 instructions are still in draft? Come on man!

Matt Croce @mattcroce.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Got it partially solved. Federal extension is filed. Apparently Texas isn’t taking 1065 extensions yet. 🤷‍♂️ that’s what 40 minutes with intuit help desk got me!

Tax Year 2025 transmissions are not available. ProConnect Tax Online is not ready to process Tax Year 2025 for this return. How’s your morning going? #taxsky #taxes #proconnect

Know what is not fun? New tax client, entering the proper year return into the software, trying to figure out just how the heck the previous preparer arrived at those numbers.

if some guy who sucks has a name that ends in -in you can put an apostrophe after his name in your mind for laffs. Curtis Yarvin’ for example. This works in a different but also good way with guys who kick ass and are cool

Hey if you’re going to stop sending me spammy messages on LinkedIn, you don’t have to announce it to me. You can just stop cold turkey. Won’t be offended I promise.

Anyone else spending a beautiful Saturday working on taxes and also cleaning up 2025 financials so they can go to a bank for a client’s refinance? Just me?

Matt Croce @mattcroce.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Uhh what’s for breakfast?

Nobody will care but it’s still weird to me to see Dave Matthews playing an electric guitar. Maybe I’m officially an old head.

Isn’t most fintech just like a shiny front door to some dumb bank?

Apparently tax season takes the jokes right out of me!

Matt Croce @mattcroce.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

I am way more center-right in the map than my actual beliefs. Likely because I only really follow tax folks and a little sports and don’t post much at all. I’m fairly progressive personally, but I find most political commentary and commentators to be impossible so I don’t follow online.

Cash basis forever…until something like this
