Most business owners think their accountant is the most important financial hire they'll ever make. The problem is that even the best accountant can only work with the numbers they're given.

In this episode of The Profit Pillars Show, Parker Stevenson, CEO of Evolved Finance and author of Profit Pillars, explains why the quality of your bookkeeping has a bigger impact on your taxes, profitability, and long-term growth than most business owners realize.

Parker breaks down how bookkeeping mistakes quietly inflate tax bills, why balance sheets are often ignored, and how accurate monthly financials allow for real tax planning instead of last-minute compliance. He also explains why cheap, non-specialized bookkeeping becomes more dangerous as your business grows.
