How Eiduk Tax & Wealth is Scaling an Advisory-First Firm with Digits

An accounting firm built around automation

John Eiduk launched Eiduk Tax & Wealth in 2021 after years of working at the intersection of accounting and technology, helping companies implement systems and improve workflows.

Today, Eiduk Tax & Wealth specializes in tax planning, advisory, and bookkeeping services for healthcare professionals and other service-based businesses.

“I really started looking at technology tools to grow my firm and scale by myself,” John explained. “I knew there had to be a better way than just throwing more bookkeeping bodies at the problem.”

The operational reality

Like many accounting firms in the U.S., John initially relied on QuickBooks Online.

But as his client base grew, so did the operational overhead surrounding bookkeeping.

“There’s so much coordination involved,” he said. “Receipts, categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, communicating with clients, and managing bookkeepers. It creates what I call coordination fatigue.”

While QuickBooks offered robust functionality, John found the experience increasingly difficult to scale:

• Time-consuming reconciliation workflows

• Heavy dependence on manual bookkeeping labor

• Clunky reporting processes

• Constant interface changes and updates

• Difficulty scaling without hiring additional staff

“With QuickBooks, onboarding was only the beginning,” John explained. “After the initial setup, there was still significant manual work required to categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and continuously monitor the books.”

For a firm focused primarily on advisory services, the traditional bookkeeping model simply wasn’t sustainable.

Why Eiduk Tax & Wealth chose Digits

John first discovered Digits through a YouTube conversation between accounting creator Jason Staats and Digits CEO Jeff Seibert discussing the future of AI-native bookkeeping software. He immediately saw the platform’s potential to modernize accounting workflows.

“I looked at other newer solutions too,” he said. “But Digits looked ready. The UI and UX felt polished, functional, and thoughtfully designed.”

As someone with extensive software implementation and product management experience, John evaluated Digits differently than most accountants.

“The technology felt sound right away,” he explained. “The reporting, the drill-downs, the categorizations, the workflows it all made sense.”

One major differentiator was Digits’ automation-first approach.

“I saw a path to scale without needing to continuously add bookkeeping staff,” he said.

Before migrating clients, John decided to fully test Digits using his own firm’s books first.

“I threw the kitchen sink at it,” he laughed. “Multiple bank accounts, Stripe integrations, payroll accounts, transfers, everything.”

During onboarding, John imported historical QuickBooks transactions into Digits and set clear cutover dates for clients.

From there, he could connect bank accounts, validate reconciliations, and quickly reclassify transactions — all within a single platform.Once the workflows were in place, the efficiency gains became immediately clear.

“Once the model learns the transactions, I’m mostly reviewing instead of manually processing everything.”

Rebuilding the bookkeeping workflow

One of the biggest operational improvements came during client onboarding.

“QuickBooks onboarding used to take me two to four hours per client,” John said. “With Digits, it’s closer to an hour, assuming the client is responsive.”

More importantly, Digits removed the need for constant supervision.

“I don’t have to babysit the system anymore,” he explained. “I can let auto-reconciliation run, upload documents, work on something else, and come back later. It lets me multitask in a way QuickBooks never did.”

The automation dramatically reduced manual bookkeeping work while still allowing John to maintain oversight. That shift fundamentally changed how John thinks about scaling his firm.

Faster financial visibility with less manual work

Beyond onboarding improvements, Digits simplified the day-to-day bookkeeping experience.

“I love how quickly I can pull up a profit and loss statement, drill into transactions, and reclassify items,” John said.

Instead of navigating through multiple layers of menus or exporting PDFs, Digits allows him to review financials in real time.

“It should just be point and click,” John explained. “That’s what impressed me with Digits. The workflows feel modern.”

Turning bookkeeping into a scalable service line

Digits didn’t just improve efficiency—it also changed the economics of John’s bookkeeping services.

Previously, bookkeeping work often required additional labor costs, software overhead, and constant coordination. With Digits automating much of the repetitive work, John was able to create a more scalable bookkeeping model while maintaining strong margins and spending less time on manual processing.

“Digits allows us to deliver bookkeeping services far more efficiently,” John explained. “That gives us the flexibility to serve a wider range of clients while maintaining profitability.”

That flexibility allows John to price services strategically based on the client relationship and level of support required—without sacrificing profitability.

As a result:

• Clients can access bookkeeping services that fit their needs and budget

• The firm spends significantly less time on manual processing

• Automation reduces dependency on additional staff

• More time can be spent on higher-value advisory work

For John, bookkeeping is no longer the bottleneck. Instead, it has become a scalable operational layer that supports more profitable advisory relationships.

Building a Modern Accounting Stack

Today, John’s preferred tech stack centers around Digits alongside automation-focused financial tools like Ramp.

“I love software that actually integrates and plays nicely together,” he said. “Digits feels like accounting software built for modern workflows.”

As he continues growing Eiduk Tax & Wealth, John plans to migrate more clients from QuickBooks into Digits.

“I’d tell firms to start with a handful of smaller clients and make the jump,” he said. “Once you experience what bookkeeping should feel like, it’s hard to go back.”

What’s Next

As Eiduk Tax & Wealth continues growing, John sees Digits as a key part of building a scalable, advisory-focused firm.

“Digits gives me confidence that I can grow without getting buried in manual bookkeeping work,” he said.
