Tax podcast! 🎙️Not something I thought I would (could) headline. Ever. Thanks to Ian (🙏) I did though! Turns out all I needed was a friend (Ian Bowden again) to answer all the tax related questions. Which, to be fair, was most of them. Still, I showed up. I put myself out there. It’s done. It wasn’t that bad! Thank you to all the tax technology crew at BDO for working with us. Scott. Ian Jason. You can see us live in action at the Savoy for the The Richmond Finance Directors' Forum in March. Again, that will be the Ian show with me riding the coat tails… I’m happy with that. #EnterpriseTaxReporting
