Confused by QuickBooks’ “Ask My Accountant” account? You’re not alone.
In Episode 3 of the QuickBooks Wizard Podcast, Brian Cogan exposes one of the sneakiest bookkeeping monsters in the ledger: the Ask My Accountant account.
Too many business owners treat it like a digital shoebox — dumping mystery charges and telling themselves, “I’ll figure it out later.” The problem? Later never comes. And when tax season arrives, those missing details can cost you thousands in lost deductions and sleepless nights.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why Ask My Accountant is not a permanent parking lot
- The psychology of procrastination in bookkeeping
- Real stories from business owners who lost (and saved) thousands
- The 4-step routine to keep AMA clean: Snap, Categorize, Leave Notes, Review Weekly
- How using AMA as a conversation tool with your bookkeeper can save you money and peace of mind
You’ll also hear from the Wizard, who offers wisdom and a warning, and from AMA himself — the monster who thrives on your bookkeeping chaos.
🎧 By the end, you’ll know exactly how to slay the Ask My Accountant monster and turn it from a junk drawer into a tool of clarity.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
