I'll tell you what... The month of May is beginning to look a lot like December. Definitely not because it's cold out there, but with so much "end of school year" stuff happening these days, from graduation parties (ranging from pre-k "graduations" all the way up...

Did you see Google's demonstration of their new virtual assistant technology, Duplex, last week? If you did, like me, probably you were both amazed ... and a little bit terrified of the implications. Essentially, Google is close to figuring out how to make it so that...

We are now fully engaged in our tax "off season" here in Cleveland. But interestingly, this is where the real difference that we can make on behalf of our tax preparation clients is actually made. We're diving into the new tax legislation, and attending classes...

It seems like crooks these days keep finding new ways to trick people here in Cleveland into giving them more money. And no, I'm not talking about Congress. Last week, for those of us in the tax professional world in Cleveland who are paying attention (because let's...
