Sales and use tax generally applies to the sale or use of tangible personal property and certain services. Since software, and especially Software-as-a-Service, may not be delivered in a tangible form, many technology and software companies have considered themselves exempt from sales and use tax. But this is not always the case. In fact, many states impose sales and use tax on services provided by the technology industry.

RSM has shared their global revenue numbers for 2023 and like all firms their size, it’s broken a record. $9.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023 puts them a mere $26,600,000 behind fourth-place Big 4 KPMG ( $36 billion ) and exactly $40 billion behind actual Big 4 EY ( $49.4 billion ).

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.
