My investing strategy is just to DCA into an S&P 500 index fund and keep buying and holding.

Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant.
