I Fired My Accountant and HighLevel AI is Now Free

Send us Fan Mail

I fired my accountant this month. A firm with a boardroom and a lot of staff quoted me $20,000 to replace him. A remote firm that uses AI and only works with Xero clients quoted about $460 a month for the same job. That is about a quarter of the price.

That gap is coming for your agency too. This week I go through the HighLevel announcements from Level Up in Dallas, what is free now and what still costs money, and what a quote for an empty boardroom tells you about pricing your own work.

I am also starting free live consults on the show. Bring me the thing that is stuck in your agency and I will coach you through it on air. Leave me a voicemail at https://mvrx.link/fanmail and tell me you want a consult.

In this episode:

• What HighLevel announced at Level Up in Dallas, and what is free for agency users now (fair use applies)
• What is still paid: the agents that do the work, and the AI Employee plans per sub-account
• LC Payments, HighLevel's own payment processor, and the goal Varun stated of sharing about 40% of its payments profit with Founder plan agencies (it is in Labs and not live yet)
• Why Managed Agents getting their own computer matters
• Why "we'll set up AI for you" just became a free button, and what to sell instead
• A survey of 279 SEO professionals: 44% are more worried about AI than a year ago, and 43 of 85 agency SEOs fear smaller teams
• The $20,000 accounting quote against about $460 a month, and who pays for the boardroom
• Why a Xero-only niche lets a small firm do the same job for a quarter of the price
• Your homework: list everything in your price that your client pays for and never sees
• How to get a free live consult on the show
