I really don’t care for BDO but unfortunately this isn’t a great time for GT. That said, if GT has hit rock bottom this could be a great time to get in... just not sure how much further they could sink?!? All in all, I would say GT

I worked at both. GT culture is much better, but there is a lot of stuff going on with little transparency.

Exactly this. Bdo tax has a very poor culture. Gt is going through a lot of changes but is much better than bdo. Anything is better than bdo. I know 3 people who left bdo and all hated it.

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?

Would it be necessary to serve one month notice period in probation in FIS?
I mean , I wanted to serve complete one month of notice so that I could give interviews more and negotiate but there is no dependency on me so can they release me early or they will go with complete one month. ?

FIS - disappointed me in terms of tech , process, tools . will never join again.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
