What a 48 months it’s been. The Supreme Court Wayfair decision four years ago gave tax jurisdictions the sudden power to require countless companies to collect and remit sales tax. Those governments jumped the on chance for such big revenue – and continue to do so. In many respects, Wayfair also opened the path to levying additional kinds of tax obligations on businesses that sell online as eCommerce becomes more and popular.

About three years ago, a dear friend asked me for a checklist that he and his wife could fill out before they go to an attorney to get new wills and related documents. I saw him a few days ago and mentioned whether he ever got his wills done, and he sheepishly said he hadn’t. I dropped the matter. . I am using this blog to call his attention to the importance of getting it done and will be sending a link to him and his wife.

Finance leaders who master this balance will build teams that thrive through uncertainty and drive long-term business impact.

I got an offer in a corporate role and turned in my two week notice at EY. Everything was fine: HR treated me well and wished me luck in the next chapter of my career. However, on my LAST DAY at EY, the new company rescinded their offer for reasons that I won’t get into here but were ridiculous (even the third-party recruiter agreed it was ridiculous).

The process of 3-way matching in accounts payable protects your business against incorrect or fraudulent invoices. It mitigates risks in your company’s spending by making sure you don’t overpay for services or fall for counterfeit invoices. It may sound like no one would fall for invoice fraud—when a scammer pretends to be a business partner or vendor and sends a company an invoice for services that they didn’t actually deliver.

Once upon a time the cloud was new and strange, and you could exceed in business without paying it any mind. That time has long since passed. With the ATO embracing digital record keeping and compliance methods, it’s only a matter of time before we see a wholly digital business ecosystem. However, focusing merely on compliance is an incomplete view of the march toward the cloud, as the business opportunities and simplicity inherent in integrated cloud solutions are tantalising and inescapable.
