The idea of a CPA/CFP combo to me makes a lot of sense and seems like if someone were to market it well they could do well. Are there any that do okay?

Yes - and they go well together as the CFP has a huge tax planning component. More education is always better than less education when put to use effectively and for the benefit of the client

Yes I have both a tax and investment practice. If paired correctly they can be very successful. I’m actually looking at opening boutique offices throughout the southeast that pair both together all owned by one Corp for uniformity and standard setting.

Considering joining a small 50-person company as the only attorney (prior attorney is retiring). (I am currently in-house at a F50). For others who have done the same path, what surprises did you have when moving from a large company to a small one?

For example, it sounds like I should not expect a document management system, based on a prior post in this bowl. I’m guessing expenses like state bar fees and cell phone are not reimbursed.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth. My first switch took me to 9LPA from 6LPA and now the second switch is being offered for 11.5LPA where I can see my fellow friends in SAP having more than 15LPA at the same experience on their second switch itself. Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls.

I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!
