Happy Tax Day Eve for those who celebrate.

Who on here knows how to help me set up a south korean subsidiary for exports?

Big debate on here. I’m a big time window guy. Love nothing more than watching the Hudson River approach to LaGuardia. I’ve seen it hundreds of times and it never gets old. Second best is flying down Long Island from the east to land at JFK. Both of those are way better on the

Every time I get an invoice from a lawyer billing hourly, I'm so glad I don't have to work by the 6 minute increment. Though maybe that would make me more efficient at switching between tasks?

This is crazy if true.

Some days I need to look up a PE firm to see if I know anyone there (e.g., our portco is selling to their portco, or vice versa). I go to the website and check out the team page, and I can't tell if I know them or not. I'm pretty sure I've met them all at every midtown happy hour

Every MBA searcher buying a plumbing business with the plan to “do online marketing” and “start growing”

I used to work at McKinsey, and since then I've learned that one thing top professional services firms (basically MBB, Bulge Bracket, and Big Law) do (and virtually no one else does) is communicate. That's right. People would make fun of us for being PowerPoint jockeys, but no

I just realized that no American car company makes a regular sedan anymore. Only Cadillac still has a luxury sedan in its lineup. Am I the only one who prefers the experience of driving a sedan to an SUV or truck?

If you're in a difficult business situation, there is nothing like having a good friend and advisor to help you through it. Find someone you trust who is willing to get deep in your business details (probably for a fee) and will give you really useful input when the time comes.

I really wanted DOGE to be the beginning of a change in the way that congress thinks about its job. Instead, this is what they come up with, pandering to yet another president who doesn't like to be told "no."

Slightly political post in honor of the upcoming Independence Day. In 2023, Nippon Steel won a bid to acquire U.S. Steel in order to rebuild a struggling manufacturing facility (among other things). A Japanese company decided that because the rule of law in America is so stable

Embarrassed at how little endurance I have for a standing desk. How long will it take?

I just assigned a new employee to make a presentation in 2 days to our plant leadership team. I wasn’t sure what the response would be, but she was thrilled! I love hiring people who make the whole team better. Brings new energy and excitement.

Wise words from an excellent dad.

This guy is right. 10 years ago we were doing “digital transformations” in finance functions and there wasn’t much cost savings because a good finance function isn’t expensive relative to the business it maintains. If your goal is to obsolete your AP team you have another thing

I just discovered Meta's new AI JEPA model. This seems much more valuable than an LLM, with huge real-world implications for robotics, self-driving vehicles, etc. ai.meta.com/blog/v-jepa-2-…

Kudos to Indian English. I just heard "prepone" for the first time and I love it. Obviously it would be the antonym of "postpone" and it fits the Latin root ("pre- ponere" -- put before)

The IRS owes me $14,000. Can I put a lien on them or send angry letters threatening jail time? Of course not! Best case scenario I get a refund without interest some time in the next 12 months, while they continue to take my monthly and quarterly payments. In unrelated news,

A good controller is the backbone of the finance team
