This pattern is consistent with other staffing procedures across the tax practice. Micromanagement and mismanagement at its best. I think we have some seriously inflated overhead to cut. Wouldn’t a simple google sheet do the trick? We have so many dashboards and usefulness information combined with people ticking and tying even more useless information.

I am currently at a firm and received an in-house offer. Aside from main items like comp and big ticket benefits like PTO/health insurance/401k, what other items do I need to think about discussing/negotiating? For example, fees to keep bar licensure, professional association fees, CLEs, etc. I feel like there is so much on that end I currently take for granted being covered at my firm. Anything else I should consider?
