About this episode

Is your e-commerce business ready for the coming AI wave in tax compliance?


Reuben Mattinson
, Founder and CEO of RJM Tax Exemption, built a multimillion-dollar firm from his bedroom to help over 5,000 online sellers stay compliant, scale rapidly, and prepare for successful exits. Today, he shares how artificial intelligence, SaaS, and smart risk-taking are revolutionizing the world of tax compliance for e-commerce entrepreneurs.

Reuben reveals how he tackled one of the most dreaded parts of online selling, sales tax compliance, and turned it into an opportunity for growth. From developing a proprietary SaaS platform that integrates seamlessly with Amazon and Shopify to leveraging AI for staff training and automating tax thresholds, Reuben walks us through the strategies that made his firm an industry leader.

But that’s not all. We dive deep into how businesses can harness AI not just to streamline taxes, but also to develop new products faster than ever, reducing risk and unlocking growth opportunities previously unimaginable.


In this conversation, you’ll learn:

  • How Reuben turned tax headaches into a thriving SaaS solution by building tools that sync directly with major e-commerce platforms.
  • Why integrating AI into staff training improves accuracy, agility, and customer experience, critical factors in a compliance-heavy industry.
  • The unexpected benefits of roleplaying tough client scenarios with AI agents to prepare your team for real-world challenges.
  • How AI voice assistants and agents are reshaping both education and elder care, offering new business models and revenue streams.
  • Why Reuben believes AI-driven, government-verified tax advisors could soon challenge traditional CPAs, and what that means for your business.


Key Takeaways:

  • Invest in AI and SaaS tools to reduce manual processes and human errors in tax filings.
  • Roleplay tough scenarios with AI to sharpen your team’s decision-making and customer service skills.
  • The rapid pace of AI-driven app development has removed much of the traditional risk from building new products.
