Yes, October 15th is first runner-up to September 15th in the realm of terrible tax filing deadlines, but it is not short on pain for CPAs who specialize in the dark arts of taxes.
If you or your clients are still rounding up K-1s and whatnot, Joe Kristan has a nice round-up of steps to take to (try) beating the deadline. If you're fortunate enough to have everything wrapped up, great! You get to enjoy this mashup of happy people dancing in movies without any feelings of dread:
The latest edition of CPA video marketing, courtesy of the Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs takes another reality TV angle, parodying the show “What Not to Wear”. While our suggestion to incorporate Lady Gaga or the cast of Jersey Shore seems to have been overlooked for the time being, we’ve been assured by the PICPA VP of Communications that our suggestions are being considered. We won’t push the issue, as there may be better ideas.
Like perhaps, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”??? It’s a natural fit, amiright?
Sorry. We’re done submitting ideas. Here’s the latest:
Our tepid enthusiasm for this particular video is probably due to the fact that we’ve never seen “What Not to Wear” although we did love the “Breathlessly Judgmental Friend”. Seriously, doesn’t everyone have a breathlessly judgmental friend that you just want to punch in face?
While this parody wasn’t our favorite, we understand that there are CPAs in the Keystone State that probably enjoy this particular spin and it still beats anything we’ve seen from an accounting firm. Keep up the good work Team PICPA.
One thing I’ve always loved about the Maryland Association of CPAs is that they aren’t afraid to shake things up, do what everyone else isn’t doing and, uh, break out into a dance routine in the middle of a dinner reception.
Remember the “big surprise” they were planning for the 2011 CPA Summit? Here it is, enjoy:
Moral of the story? Call for an investigation of a wealthy guy – a wealthy Senator – with a wealthier wife and he’ll gladly cut a check to get you to shut the hell up.
Before you go!
