AI Automation: Why Smart Solopreneurs Are Firing Their 10 Worst ‘Employees

July 29, 2025•1 min read

You know who your worst employees are? The ones you never hired—those little admin tasks that eat your time and never take a vacation.

Payroll setup. Invoice reminders. Client onboarding emails. You didn’t start a business to spend your life trapped in back-office purgatory.

That’s where AI is flipping the script.

SMBs are now using AI to:

Automate receipt collection with tools like Dext and Hubdoc.
Streamline bookkeeping and payroll with Wave, Gusto, and QuickBooks + Zapier integrations.
Set up AI email bots that handle repetitive client responses and appointment scheduling.

And guess what? These AI “employees” never call in sick, never ask for a raise, and they work 24/7.

Joe’s Blueprint: In 2003, I built an online accounting system that reduced my business overhead by over 60%. Today’s tools make that look like a flip phone in an iPhone

Time is money. AI gives you both.
