Picture this: Hurricane Helene just tore through town, leaving your studio looking more like a wind-tossed art project than a thriving business. The cleanup feels overwhelming, but the thought of filing an insurance claim? That’s a whole new level of stress. Don’t panic—there’s a secret weapon you can use to make this process less painful (and dare I say, a little satisfying). Enter ChatGPT, your claim-filing co-pilot and the hero you didn’t know your studio needed.
Hurricane aftermaths are no joke, but here’s a practical—and surprisingly simple—approach to getting your business back on track. Step one: dust off that insurance policy and upload it to ChatGPT. Yes, your trusty AI sidekick can analyze the fine print faster than you can say "deductible," pulling out the clauses that actually matter to your claim. Business interruption? Loss of revenue? Property damage? ChatGPT has your back.
Next up, it’s time to gather your evidence. Think of this as your detective moment, minus the trench coat. Grab those revenue reports, snap before-and-after photos of the damage, and compile records of canceled classes or workshops. Even repair quotes from contractors are gold when it comes to building a watertight case. ChatGPT will then help you turn this mountain of documentation into a professional claim letter that even the pickiest insurance adjuster can’t ignore.
Let’s be real—your studio is more than just a business. It’s a place where creativity thrives, connections are made, and memories are painted (literally). That’s why PYOP Accounting exists: to help you grow a profitable, community-focused studio that supports your life goals, not the other way around. Whether it’s navigating an insurance claim or building smooth financial systems, our job is to make sure your business does its job—supporting you.
The winds of Hurricane Helene might have knocked your studio off its feet, but with ChatGPT and PYOP Accounting on your team, you’ll come back stronger—and smarter. Filing a claim doesn’t have to be a solo sport. Let us help you turn those stormy skies into clear financial horizons, one well-crafted claim at a time.
So, grab a coffee (or something stronger) and let’s get to work. Your studio deserves nothing less.

Creativity and CPAs don’t generally go together. Most people think of CPAs as nerdy accountants who can’t talk with people. Well, it’s time to break that stereotype. Lively, friendly, and knowledgeable can be a part of your relationship with your CPA, as demonstrated by Donna and Chad Bordeaux. They have over 50 years of combined experience as entrepreneurial CPAs. They’ve owned businesses and helped business owners exceed their wildest dreams. They have been able to help businesses earn many times more profit than the average business in the same industry and are passionate about helping industries that help families build great memories.
