Hey, Mark Bravo here with Bravo Financial and AI digital solutions. So, I got a quick question for small business owners. So, right now, without opening a spreadsheet, how much profit did you make last month? Last week? Yesterday? Most owners can't answer that. And not knowing numbers is costly. It's costing you real money right? Here's what nobody tells you. Real tax planning, the kind that actually lowers your bill, runs 99 to 499 a month, depending who you go with. Most people don't even do it monthly. And that's a software. Or up to 3,000 or more with a CPA. And most owners still don't find out what they owe into April. When it's too late to change anything. So, my son and I built something different. It's called Bravo AI Books. It's part of our wealth system. AI runs your bookkeeping every single day automatically. And you get Taylor, which she's your AI accountant, so to speak. She knows anything a common CPA tax attorney knows. Ask her anything in plain English, "How's my profit this month? What will I owe in taxes?" She reads your actual numbers and tells you. She's built into the to the to the to the app. She finds the deductions your CPA misses. She tells you what you'll owe every quarter. So, April is not never a surprise now. So, your tax forms build themselves. All of it for $59 a month, you guys. Not 59 plus a CPA plus a software, 59 period. And here's the bonus. I built this in on every page. Now, I'll show it to you. It comes Every account comes with Bravo Debt Freedom. It's an AI. It builds you a step-by-step plan to knock out your credit cards and loans actually and get debt free. It just don't build a plan, it actually does it for you. That's included for free. Uh you'll get that. So, you can try this app for 14 days, no credit card. I done all my apps that way because I appreciate I would appreciate it as a business owner somebody lets me try it. If it's good, I'll like it and buy it if it's fair price. So, go to bravobooks.com and see your own numbers and let's get them working for you. Now, let me show you uh uh let me show you Here's the my sales page, right? So, it's replaces QuickBooks without a doubt. And like say about tax planning, right? So, what I know about tax planning, I've been studying tax planning for years. To me, if you're doing taxes for business owners, if you don't do tax planning, you know, business owners should have no business going with you. But, um since I studied it for years and I noticed the pricing cuz I thought it was crazy, right? I I'm not a guy that gouges people. That's just me, right? Some people have no problem saying 15 grand and they'll smile at you and you're going to say either yes or no, right? I mean, they're built like that. So, maybe that's why I'm not a multi-millionaire because I don't charge high prices, but the quality is good. I can help any small business. I built this uh software actually for any small business. I think the only ones I don't do it and and I can, I just didn't activate it right now, is for the medical field. You got to have HIPAA. And then, if you're a gigantic general contractor, small general contractors, accountants, companies, if you don't make over five, six million dollars, my bookkeeping system is going to have you fine. Guess what? That's over 90% of this country in business owners. You guys don't make over five million. Only a very small percentage does. Now, my goal is to try to get you there, especially home services. I know I can help them guys. They have the ability to make a few million dollars each. So, let me show you the bookkeeping software. So, this is it. I'm already logged in. When you sign up for for free for 14 days, you're going to get a an onboarding. It's going to ask you questions. I put I'm a plumber, right? So, when I I told I put my name, I'm a plumber, and asked me a couple other questions. And then, boom, my chart of accounts was created, if you know what that is. That's right here. Your chart of accounts is all your accounts that you're going to pay you know, you're going to pay and you need to have in here your assets, your accounts, everything. So, auto auto-generated chart of accounts. So, when I did this a few days ago, uh it asked me a few questions and this was created. Now, if anybody knows QuickBooks or any other softwares, AI ain't doing this part. Cuz most softwares weren't built they're they weren't built on AI prior to 2026. I built all my softwares January. Now, I built them before, but I changed them to today's technology cuz I did a little research and found out if I want to update it on the uh like tomorrow I want to update it, I can update it tomorrow. Not too many business owners do that cuz they paid somebody either millions or hundreds of thousands to build their app and their coders and they have to break it. So, they just can't do what I'm doing cuz they didn't build it in the way I did. So, I know I can compete with anybody. So, your chart of accounts, most people don't know how to do this. So, it's all set up for you guys. They're all right here. Your your your your loans, you name it, your revenue, your equipment, it's all done. So, let me go back. I'm trying to go, you know, look it. This is a live I don't think I see anybody in here. I don't see the Facebooks. I don't know if anybody's even on this yet. But, let me show you. So, it has a scan. You don't need a scan cuz you're going to hook up your bank account. I'll show you that. So, you can have this on your phone. Let's say you're doing a barbecue for the team on Saturday. Go to Costco Friday. Spend a few hundred bucks. You're coming out. For me, that receipt hardly makes it home. Now, it's kind of nice cuz if it's a business thing, I just scan it and goes right into my bookkeeping software and takes care of it for me. You can do the same thing. So, you could scan if you need to. Uh So, when you come on here, I recommend a huge screen, especially if you're home service, right? You want everybody to get excited and see what's going on. I recommend a huge screen for this bookkeeping software. And then you'll see your numbers. So, you'll have If you this is a real one, you'd show your income for the day or for whatever the year. You'll show your expenses for the day or for the year. You'll show your profits for the day or for the year. And then you get an estimated tax owed. Okay? And then I built this. It's kind of a forecaster. Once it gets to know your business, it's going to get you excited by forecasting what you're going to make today and what you're going to make in 30 days. So, I built this in. It'll kick in once you're using the bookkeeping, probably 30 days. And like I told you, you have all kinds of things you can start start logging revenue, completed jobs. Uh and I'll explain this to you when we onboard. There's not much to learn, you guys. Just a couple of things. You don't need to know accounting or anything of that nature. Uh I got Taylor right here. Little guy right here. I can ask her anything I want. Is bookkeeping for attorneys Uh let me get rid of that. racing Okay. Can Can you do my business? I am a CPA. Imagine CPA wanting to use my book bookkeeping. They're going to They're going to. And I'll tell you why, because Well, I can't give you a date. I'm not going to do that. I don't believe AI is going to wipe out as many jobs people think. It's going to wipe out jobs, but it's going to bring back a lot. I appreciate you sharing that, but based on your account setup, your business is a plumbing Ah, so it's a making a mistake. So, I got to fix that. It says it's a plumbing. It's wrong. It's talking about my business. Cuz it thinks it's in my plumbing business. Uh so, it's not giving me the right answer. I'm going to fix that. I'll fix that as soon as we get off this call. So, that's that's it, you guys. Uh You got Oh, I built this built-in. I'm going to You get this. You can put all your apps in one spot. This is a security hub to protect your information. I deal with a lot of people's information, so I built this security hub a few months ago, and I just dropping all my apps in it right now. So, when I just log into this to my security hub, and I got all these apps. I give this to you guys. Almost with anything you buy, you get the security hub for free. It's pretty cool. Go in one place, log in, and everything's there. So, you get that. I think I told you I'll get you Every bookkeeping software, to me, needs this. This is how to pay your house off, your bills, your cars, all that stuff. This is debt freedom with AI. It shows you everything. You want to know about It's called uh infinite banking. I put that in here. So, you can build your own bank. That's kind of complicated. It's somebody who's making some really good money, but it's in here, and we can show you how to do that down the road. Infinite banking education, smart debt elimination, and AI debt coach. It has everything built in it. I'll give it to you guys. So, you get quite a bit for 59 bucks a month. Like I told you, you're going to pay thousands for tax planning, right? And bookkeeping, I see it for anywhere from 200 to 400. And then they say, "Well, it's done by humans." I'm not impressed with that. I I believe AI is better than humans. That's my opinion. I've been working at it for years. I'll put and I know accountants who use it and they agree with me. Most people are not going to tell you people who use AI, they're not going to tell you they use it. I seen somebody the other day I seen not somebody, I seen a lot of people I don't know if it's political now. Seems like the right likes AI AI and the left cuz the right likes the AI. I don't care about politics. AI is good for both sides. But I'll say this, a person who said this I seen it on a podcast the other day. She said, "Well, me and my son ChatGPT don't even work. Me and my son asked ChatGPT how many X's are there in the months o
