She also explains how her firm narrowed its service offerings to focus on core recurring services like tax planning and fractional CFO work. Blake and David examine research on how much money Americans think they need annually to be happy, with millennials citing much higher targets. They also talk about an accounting reference in the new Trolls movie and the need for more diverse and positive CPA portrayals in media.Chapters Show NotesWhat’s Behind Warren Buffett’s Fight With a Truck-Stop Mogul – WSJhttps://www.wsj.com/business/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-jimmy-haslam-pilot-lawsuit-70ef0413Trolls movie CPAhttps://www.linkedin.com/posts/jacob-g-5819b780_went-to-see-the-new-trolls-movie-with-my-activity-7134882587042320384-RC32Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway sued by Haslam family over Pilot truckstop chain takeoverhttps://cdllife.com/2023/haslam-family-sues-pilot-majority-owner-berkshire-hathaway-over-accounting-practices/Bankrupt SmileDirectClub shuts down, says its ‘Lifetime Smile Guarantee’ is canceled - but Smile Pay users are expected to keep paying https://fortune.com/2023/12/11/bankrupt-smiledirectclub-shutting-down/Meet our Guest, Keila Hill-TrawickWebsite: http://www.littlefishaccounting.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keilahilltrawickTwitter: https://twitter.com/littlefishcpaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/littlefishaccounting/Need CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!
