Do you recommend hiring a tax consultant vs. doing it yourself using turbotax or the likes? Do tax consultants bring additional value/savings when compared to the risk of sharing your SSN with someone

I always use Her Block Advisors. Costs more but definitely peace of mind and less hassle for me.

I charge for my advise....don't mind paying for the same.

Depends on how complex your taxes are. For basic stuff 1099 and a few deductions easy to go with softwares.

If you have lot of deductions, small business etc... definitely go with CPA.

You’re sharing your SSN with many daily , who you don’t you even see or know. That’s not the point here. People hire tax consultants if they have complicated sources of incomes, own businesses , too many deductibles etc. If you have straightforward W2 , a tax consultant will be more hassle and cost. Or if you just want to talk to human.

Rest of it was pretty good and I nailed the implementation part and behavioural for sure. Do you guys think I still have a chance? Deloitte

I think I’m finally ready to seriously consider leaving public accounting. The problem is I don’t know what I would want to leave for. I’m a high performer in my group and the partners made it clear that I’m on a partner track, but I just can’t do these hours anymore. What are some good exit options that pay decently, are interesting and have 9-6 hours?

Over the last 12 months my role changed significantlu so in Jan I approached the CEO about a raise and promotion more in line with my work and he said yes - but not until until the end of Q1 when budgets are finalized. Covid hit and I was told all promotions and raises were put on hold. I never got a Q2 review bc my manager said the raise was up in the air still. But on Friday the CEO sent an email listing 17 promotions, not including me. Im meeting w my manager tomorrow but idk what to say.
