What this episode covers
We hope you're enjoying your extended free trial of 2021! We've got lots of news to share in today's episode, including how Big 4 leaders reacted to the Capitol riot, and some tips and tricks on how to avoid being de-platformed (like a certain president). Plus, there's more news on the kickoff of PPP 2.0, stimulus payment issues, agent fees, and such. In app news, we'll talk about Pennylane's fundraising to build software plus an accounting service, the departure of a neobank, Azlo, Avalara's new Cloud Sales Tax Returns solution, and more. We'll take a "look" at BKD's film noir, "The Missing Deduction," examine what FASB plans to tackle, like Goodwill, in 2021, and unearth some other interesting accounting-related tidbits.
