Secret IRS Files Reveal No Secrets
We're covering a lot of ground this week, starting with a bill in Congress that would make accounting part of the STEM curriculum. We'll also look into the secret IRS files that leaked a wealth of billionaire tax info! If you're looking to relocate, we've got the list of the best cities for accountants, and we'll talk about the Microsoft Excel Esports Tournament! In app news, more raises from accounting software + services startups Osome, and Penny Lane. As if that weren't enough, we might talk smack about SPACs, and ponder the significance of accounting firms stepping into the fray. Finally, we're rounding out this episode with some thoughts on how technology is filling the labor gap, and how it relates to advisory pricing!
