BBJ Small Business Week is Now Here
During Small Business Week, we are offering a free downloadable Excel file that links your business revenue to IRS SOI data so you can benchmark your performance in seconds.
AuditMetricsAI was built for the way real small businesses work - fast, local, and right on your laptop or desktop. No IT department, no complicated setup, no waiting for approvals.
Just open Excel, plug in your numbers, and instantly see how your revenue compares to IRS Statistics of Income (SOI) benchmarks by ZIP code.
A quick note for BBJ readers:
Some large organizations use locked-down servers that block all downloadable files from independent publishers such as Auditmetrics- including Excel templates.
That's normal for enterprise IT, but it doesn't affect the small business laptops for which AuditMetricsAI is
designed. If you're running a standard Windows laptop, everything downloads and runs smoothly. AuditMetricsAI is
intentionally crafted for owners, bookkeepers, and students who want powerful analytics without the complexity of enterprise systems.
You stay in control, your data stays on your device, and you get insights that used to require a consultant.

In the Era of Massive DOGE and AI InvestmentSmall Business Edge: Human Capital Investment
The public and private sector promotion of Computer Assisted Audit Techniques (CAATs),
sophisticated business analytics and DOGE is bound to dramatically impact the business world. This is especially
true when these trends are driven by the AI revolution. Our goal is to help small businesses with an inherent
resource disadvantage in competing against large corporations. Auditmetrics AI is designed as a cost-effective
portable expert system to enhance human decision making. Expert systems are commonly used in fields like
medicine and finance to provide consistent and unbiased decisions based on established rules and data.
This increase in AI driven analytics means a business must protect its home base by periodically conducting its own
statistical financial analysis that conform to AICPA and IRS standards. Auditmetrics was developed in Massachusetts
where the law regarding the statistical financial audit was very simple. It must conform to IRS standards (see
IRS link below)
Auditmetrics Requirements: Windows 10 & 11 but if you are using legacy Windows, contact us for assistance. After you download
your software version, download a practice dataset to quickly start the learning process. However, that is only the first step in
mastering business critical data. You will need to start your own business account data generation. If your business is large enough
to run on a server, then consult with tech support for help. If you control all aspects of account data management,
contact us for resources to generate analytics datasets (support@auditmetrics.com).
