So what can your business do to make sure it is taking control of its online reputation? Join us for this presentation to learn first-hand from experts at Podium how to harness the power of customer feedback and make the most out of your online reviews.

Whenever I decided to go out on my own, I will not lie to you... I had no idea where to even begin. I spent the first 8 years of career working for various CPA firms in the Houston, TX area learning all things accounting and taxes and gained some valuable technical expertise. While some of these companies had good systems and processes in place, there were some that did not. This allowed me to see several different ways of how firms were run and gave me a good sense of what I wanted to do when if/when I decided to go out on my own. Then one day I decided to take a chance on myself and said, “screw it” and went out on my own. I will tell you that was the happiest/scariest days of my life. My original plan was to go out on my own and study for my CPA exam. Well here we are almost two years later, and my business is up and running and I am finally dedicated to passing the CPA exam.

Because residents and nonresident aliens are taxed differently, it's important to understand the difference. You're considered a nonresident alien for any period that you're neither a U.S. citizen nor a resident alien for tax purposes. You're considered a resident alien for a calendar year if you meet the green card test or the substantial presence test for the year. This episode will discuss the difference between resident and nonresident aliens and help you choose the right status for your client. This episode is the second and final part of this segment.
