Depends on industry and how experienced you are if filing yourself but generally, if the business grosses over 150k or nets over 50 a tax professional is almost always worth it. They will save you much more than their $1,000 fee.

Always use a CPA or tax attorney. I don’t do taxes nor do I know tax law, much rather have someone guide me and give me the best advice to reach my goal.

Yes, I use them as a second opinion on tax matters and actually have them prep the tax return. I hate taxes so this works for me.

When I use them for ad-hoc tasks, calls, or analysis they charge me $150 / hr, they do my LLC's tax return for $1k.

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

Don’t get scammed. I saw an ad for vending machines that dispense hot coffee, from The Caffeine Dream. Sounds like a cool idea, and they offered placement of the machines for a one time fee. but I asked this “Chris Mateli” where. He was evasive at first and was rude when I had someone with my company call to ask. Eventually he gave me the locations before buying the machines which, of course, I couldn’t verify for placement. They had no idea about these machines because they never ordered them.
