If your office manager asks you to handle a task your way,and it’s not illegal but doesn’t fully follow the company’s code of conduct, they say don’t worry, I’ll manage it and promise big benefits. But your principles or willpower resist. How do you handle this situation professionally without compromising ethics or missing opportunities?

You tell them you aren't comfortable doing the requested real. If it's that important and they are 'working to manage it's then they should have no problem doing it themselves. If you get pushback, escalate.

Autocorrect is not my friend! I meant tell them you aren't comfortable with the task. They shouldn't be pushing that on you. Don't do anything your guy tells you it's wrong. It'll come back on you, not them. Good luck!!

Promises of big benefits show they seem to know it shouldn’t be done. I wouldn’t trust that they’ll take care of it if things go sideways. I’d say I’d love to help, but I do not feel comfortable. Can I ask around for somebody else and send them to you? (Should stop it if they don’t want it going around).

Thanks for your experience its really helpful

I would be super uncomfortable to do it. Be careful and don’t risk your job!

Thanks for your advise

Make sure you have a paper trail of them saying not to worry. Even then, I’d be hesitant that it would come back and bite me. You don’t want to get yourself in a situation they can hang over your head

I’m currently an LLC and looking to assemble an equity deal with an advisor. I don’t know how to set it up with him where he gets his equity in the future when we restructure the entity to a c/s Corp and give out his shares. It doesn’t make sense for us to switch now and get double taxed when we haven’t lifted off the ground. This is pre launch. Any advice?

Why do 403b have such I fees? I almost want to stop contributing all together or just minimum 6% to meet the match. Possibly just rely on the pension but what if it’s underfunded when I retire?

I have a client who needs a 401k, or a solo retirement account w loan options. When I was at UBS/Ameriprise, it was no issue but now it seems tougher to find a firm that does solo 401k as a RIA's.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Is anybody here a notary? And how much are you making from that? Is it a potential side-hustle?
