I say tax and leave it at that. Most people don’t understand (or care) the differences between FS tax and non-FS tax so why complicate things for them. Finance also has a different connotation as well depending on who you’re speaking too. Some perceive is as FP&A while others might think it’s IB/PE.

I recently sign a lease. The apartment will put my security deposit into an interest-bearing account and requires me to fill out a form W9. I will join EY this June and just wondering if this is ok in terms of the independence rule. I guess the apartment will put my deposit in some sort of funds. Anyone with EY has experience? Reading the independence brochure, looks like it does not specify something related to this scenario but just wanted to confirm . TIA!
