I'm the only employee with a background in finance in a tech startup growing at a 300%+ per year. But it's actually my first finance-related experience (interned and now part-time as I'm in my senior year of undergrad) and don't know really how to have an impact as my knowledge is "limited" and have no technical mentorship.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!

How do you start doing tax returns on the side? I am a CPA, but work in industry. I’d like to get a handful of clients and start doing returns for a side gig - do I need to form /license a tax preparation business? I need to do some research for my state specifically but just generally trying to get an idea of what is involved. Also what’s the best software to use if I am just doing a handful of individuals and small businesses?

Watching US salaries increase AGAIN and wondering why Canadian firms don’t have the same pressure to follow these raises. Is it the relatively small number of big firms?

Looking for :
