Very Informative
As a CPA I look for resources to continue reinforcing and building my knowledge. This podcast gives practical insight on tax matters that are above basic level.
This podcast shows that tax isn’t just for nerds, it’s also for people who love nerds. And for people who hate nerds and want to show them up by beating them at their own tax nerd game. Cool to get to learn from the quippiest voice in tax.
Looking forward to this series
