Ep. 21 South Carolina's Loose Change, Tax Day History, and Liveflow!

Welcome back to another episode of “Unaccountable,” where the snow in April has everyone’s tax filings feeling like a seasonal mix-up. This week, your favorite dynamic duo, Tyler “Hospitality Hero” Otto and Jeremy “Charitable Champion” Van Groll, dig into the mysterious case of South Carolina’s extra $1.8 billion. It’s not every day you find a billion lounging in the couch cushions! In today’s In Da News, they uncover how South Carolina ended up with a surplus that could give the most seasoned accountants a frostier reception than a snow day in spring. Meanwhile, our hosts have upped their hiring game by turning their new recruits into podcast fans—because what’s better than mixing business with pleasure, right? During the SWOT analysis, Tyler and Jeremy decide whether SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Tacos, because who wouldn’t want a tasty treat while strategizing? And in a desperate attempt to increase listenership, they contemplate hiring everyone who tunes in. That’s one way to ensure your audience numbers! Tyler and Jeremy also unpack a Yahoo Finance article that’s scarier than a surprise audit—talking about how homebuyers now need to earn 80% more than they did in 2020 to afford a median-priced home. It’s like finding out you owe back taxes... from the last decade! At halftime during AppSnack, our dynamic duo discusses Liveflow - advanced reporting and consolidation for QuickBooks Online that turns your Google Sheets or Excel spreadsheets into live FP&A dashboards. Lastly, let’s not forget the Fast Figures segment, where Tyler grills Jeremy on everything from pet tax deductions to the mysterious tax powers of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Only on Unaccountable can you find tax advice that spans from Hogwarts to your home office. Link: IRS.gov Don’t miss this snow-globe shake-up of accounting adventures.
