    BOI On Again Off Again, Bench Shuts Down, Dying Language of Accounting
    2025/01/03
    Rounding out 2024, Blake and David tackle tons of accounting news, including bookkeeping startup Bench's shutdown and the ongoing BOI reporting requirements saga. They also examine concerns about IRS Commissioner nominee Billy Long's credentials, including his "Certified Tax and Business Advisor" designation from a three-day seminar. Wrapping up, they review some of 2024's hottest stories, including declining CPA candidates, audit quality issues, and KPMG CEO Paul Knopp's Wall Street Journal op-ed about the "dying language of accounting."SponsorsLiveFlow - http://accountingpodcast.promo/liveflowSuralink - http://accountingpodcast.promo/suralink Cloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/casTaxBandits - http://accountingpodcast.promo/taxbanditsChapters(01:36) - Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting (BOI) (03:39) - Bench Accounting Shutdown (12:35) - Automated Bookkeeping Challenges (18:35) - Tax Fraud Case: The Magician (28:20) - IRS Commissioner Nominee Controversy (33:55) - Tax Refunds and Lifetime Advisors (36:16) - The Dying Language of Accounting (37:44) - CPA Licensure Reform (39:05) - Working Conditions in Accounting (42:28) - Reflecting on 2024: Key Themes and Events (55:34) - AI and the Future of Accounting (01:00:59) - San Francisco's Tax Controversies (01:04:03) - IRS Special Payments and Predictions for 2025 (01:06:25) - Bitcoin and Quantum Computing Risks (01:09:13) - Closing Remarks and CPE Information Show NotesBench shuts down, leaving thousands of businesses without access to accounting and tax docshttps://techcrunch.com/2024/12/27/bench-shuts-down-leaving-thousands-of-businesses-without-access-to-accounting-and-tax-docs/New York tax preparer called ‘the Magician’ charged for tax fraud of $145mhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/17/new-york-magician-tax-fraudBilly Long, Trump’s Nominee to Lead the IRS, Touts a Credential That Tax Experts Say Is Dubioushttps://www.propublica.org/article/billy-long-irs-trump-certified-tax-business-advisor-missouriHow a Consulting Firm and Trump’s I.R.S.
