Bookkeepers who get it don’t just balance books. They build communities, change lives, and nerd out on spreadsheets together. 🔥📊

In this episode of Bookkeepers on Fire, we sat down with Martha Yasso. Wall Street alum, AI pioneer (her thesis was on neural networks… in 1996 🤯) and founder of Fiscal Clinic, a niche community for advisors serving independent healthcare practices.

Here’s what we dug into:

💚 From cutthroat Wall Street to radical community
How Martha left a backstabbing Wall Street culture for a bookkeeping/accounting community where we share engagement letters, contacts, and real-life support. The kind that shows up when your kid is struggling or your health throws you a curveball.

🧠 Healthcare + habits + cashflow reality checks
Why she niched into independent healthcare practices (it low-key chose her), how bad advice like “spend so you don’t pay tax” destroys cashflow and how better data, habits and pricing help doctors actually keep more of what they earn.

🤖 AI, systems & the future of our profession
Martha breaks down AI as “really fast math” (not magic), why it won’t replace curious, constantly-learning pros and how systems, checklists and language that clients understand turn numbers into real-life decisions like family, community, and freedom. 

If you’re a bookkeeper or accountant who loves a good spreadsheet, cares deeply about people, and wants to lead with intention this episode is your jam.
