The One With Elizabeth Warren, Britney Spears, And Florida Man
Before David departs for sunny Cancun, we've got a lot to talk about! We've got some listener feedback on the difficulty getting the CPA (and whether it was worth it). We'll also talk about what CPA firms lay out as the top issues in 2021 and beyond. As per usual, IRS service levels continue to plummet, and we'll look at Florida Man's tax practitioner's terrible tax fraud scheme. In app news, Sage buys GoProposal, Xero's got updates, and FreshBooks buys FastBill. Google Drive is getting labels, Chargebee buys RevLock, and a new app, Pipe, lets you trade recurring revenue for cash. Meanwhile, Coinbase customers got hacked, and we've got more updates from Sage Intacct. We'll round out this pre-vacation episode with news about Elizabeth Warren's crusade against the Big 4 revolving door practices, and talk about whether a 1099 for bank accounts is in the works. Then, just for fun, #FreeBritney's got a new conservator - a CPA! Pull up a beach, grab a snack, or an umbrella-garnished beverage of your choice, and enjoy!
