And when I say IQ I don't mean value-based decisions like buying designer at the expense of rent. I mean basic calculation and strategy like aligning credit cards in a way to maximize liquidity, calculating expected fees on stuff and a lot of other things I was doing before I ever considered becoming an accountant...in like high school.

I look at a lot of financial situations and I can't say in good faith that any government program will help them because they're just really bad at IRL algebra and they wont square away the x even x represents a greater share of resources.

I seriously understand don't understand why such an important feature was removed or immensely difficult to find. Like why?

Something tells me this pressure is coming directly from the GP/Mgmt Companies which is a big reason why CPA boards prohibit non-majority CPA ownership for this very fucking reason: to mitigate undue influence on the profession.

I guess by losing the letters after the company name + insisting CPAs no longer use their credentials in email signatures and on LinkedIn is a workaround, but this shit is getting out of hand guys.

I also wrapped up Youngblood late last month. Wow. What a fucking great game. I usually delete games when I'm done playing them to save memory, but this one will always be on my PS5 (played the others on PS4).

It will not drag down the value of the profession (contrary to what some people think), particularly for audit, tax and consulting. You can charge lower rates for bookkeeping than your other line of services that demand premium pricing.

Many CFPs dont like hearing this but most of them don't understand most areas of the tax code, and the the forms nor various schedules to those forms. And the issue compounds when it comes to fiduciary tax items such as forms 1041, 706 and 709. I specialize in this

When you reach out to a CPA, your expectations should not be business development referrals...at all. It should be finding a competent tax professional in an exponentially dwindling pool of tax pros. That's it. That's all. Because we know you can't do it alone as a good faith offering to your clients.

Oh and stop trying to hire people in-house. Most qualified CPAs realize the demand for their services and how they can make 3x-5x more with their own firm, and simply hire someone to facilitate the admin headaches. Pay us what you owe us (we also know that advisors easily make 8-12x more top line revenue PER client relationship, so its not even an even-trade), and be thankful that most tax pros are so risk averse they won't entertain new waters of financial advisory despite the substantially greater margins.

Why are firms just turning clients away instead of setting up a new firm owner with the lead, even if its for a fee?

Just doesn't make sense to me and sounds like a terrible management of resources as a profession.

Specifically, at what fund size/track record threshold do placement agents typically start engaging with a first-time fund sponsor?

And is a captive RIA strategy via CPA roll-ups a thesis they've seen before, or is it novel enough to need extra education in the pitch

FYI: I'm technically an RIA myself.

Its absolutely insane to me as a buyer of the pre-order ultimate edition that my purchase doesn't include anything physical at all. Not a shirt, trucker hat, GTA6/VC map, certificate of authenticity, or ever a Vice City postcard...absolutely nothing.

What a fucking inconsiderate move?

cant believe I used the wrong your. lol

*Your role

In the same way if you were fat and bald and not landing any dates, its more logical to slim down first to see what your options are rather than spending money on an invasive and expensive hair transplant surgery. ​Address what's immediately within your control before reaching out for external solutions.

And FYI: recruiters just use more job search engines/platforms than you and spend more time dealing with the inevitable flooding of dud applicants; there's no special recruiter magic. Beyond that...a recruiter is useless for solving for a quality problem.

If your role is remote, you will have a quantity problem instead of quality problem...which is the right kind of problem to have as a hiring manager.

Take notes AICPA...its another for you guys to make money off of us...and we'll worth it in my opinion.
