AI is changing the business landscape faster than any technology before it. Is your business ready?

Less than four years after the release of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence is already reshaping how businesses operate. A newly released report from the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, authored by leading economists and AI researchers, warns that AI may transform the economy much faster than previous technological revolutions.

This isn't just a conversation for governments, academia, or public companies. Affordable AI tools are already helping small and medium-sized businesses streamline operations, improve decision-making, and gain a competitive advantage.

The question isn't whether AI will impact your business—it's whether you'll be ready to take advantage of the opportunities it creates.

In our latest blog, we highlight key insights from the Stanford report and discuss why now is the time for business owners to accelerate how AI can fit into their strategic planning.

📣 New IRS Form Alert for Digital Assets: Form 1099-DA

If you bought, sold, or disposed of cryptocurrency, NFTs, stablecoins, or other digital assets in 2025, you should receive a new Form 1099-DA from your broker by February 17, 2026.

Here’s what you need to know:
🔹 This form reports digital asset proceeds to both you and the IRS.
🔹 Most 2025 forms will not include cost basis, meaning you’ll need to calculate your gain or loss.
🔹 You must report all digital asset income — even if you don’t receive a 1099-DA.
🔹 Every taxpayer must answer the digital asset question on their tax return — yes or no.
With increased IRS reporting requirements, accurate tracking and reporting are more important than ever.

We break down what Form 1099-DA means for you and how to stay compliant in our latest blog.
