You can survive an IRS tax audit. While you may feel shocked or overwhelmed because you didn't see this coming, the big thing is that you never want to ignore IRS audit notices. Complying with deadlines is half the battle when trying to clear up an IRS tax issue of any kind.

Check out this Big 4 auditor recently profiled on eFinancialCareers. Blink twice if you need work-life balance, buddy. I’m an auditor for a Big Four firm. Audit jobs don’t always have a good reputation: they pay less than some other Big Four jobs and offer less chance of making partner. But this is fine because there are other advantages.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. But if you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner, and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top. 🗻 What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level. The higher you go, the more your effectiveness depends on how you connect, adapt, and communicate.

The article’s purpose was not to suggest stocks to invest in, but to identify key features of winning leaders.

The most overlooked, yet most critical, element of transformation is preparing people for change. Automation and AI aren't just technical upgrades, they’re cultural shifts which can challenge identities. That’s why change management isn’t a side project—it’s the foundation.

Uber-popular e-commerce sites like Amazon or eBay are known for having the lion’s share of the market. But that doesn’t mean you can’t sell online somewhere else.

QUESTION: We are considering offering a stand-alone telehealth benefit to our employees. Will this arrangement be an ERISA plan? ANSWER: Telehealth benefits (also referred to as telemedicine benefits) are often offered under an employer’s group health plan, which is governed by ERISA if sponsored by a private sector employer. Even if telehealth benefits are offered separately from the employer’s group health plan, the benefits are likely subject to ERISA.

“If names are not correct, language will not be in accordance with the truth of things.” – Confucius. It has been a huge trend for CPA firms during the last 15 to 20 years.
