Did anybody else start accounting later in life than the rest of your class? As a staff I loved when people thought I was running the engagement and I had to explain I was the staff. Anybody else?

I came to this after the military, so about 10 years older than the rest of the crew. Thankfully, people couldn’t really tell, since when they found out it generally made things oddly awkward. I avoid bringing it up, although now that I’m no longer an associate the awkwardness has gone down.

Hey everyone!
I'd love to get your feedback on our subscription marketing service.

My partner and I created a cost-effective subscription so small / medium-sized businesses could focus more running their business and strategies without the need to hire in-house, manage multiple freelancers, or fight with agencies.

We do this with a proprietary Workspace so marketing managers can delegate projects, connect with our team, and download completed work / files.

What are your initial thoughts?
