Sounds like you need to have an adult conversation with BIL. Make a deal like in Days of Thunder where he does it your way for 1 year (enough to see tax benefit and some interest benefit) and then make a decision.

Spin off question: How far back can you make amendments to your taxes to take advantage of items he may have been missing out on?

I don't know a damn thing about the "system", so I'm not saying anything about it. I am saying that grown folks sophisticated enough to have a small business employing 5 people, run by someone with enough knowledge/understanding to hold an electrician's license, who obviously has the technical knowledge to read building plans/wiring schematics, can comprehend a passbook savings account rather than an envelope as a safer place to store funds. If he's truly risk averse, he SHOULD keep the dang cash in a bank where it is covered by the FDIC.
