Case Closed: When Did You Last Close Your Books?

Isn't it fun when something appears in pop culture and it relates to your career or industry? You might be thinking, "he's going to talk about Ben Affleck movie " The Accountant " but the inspiration for this article came to me while listening to a "Best of the 90s" radio station. Whether you heard C losing Time by Semisonic played from a co-worker's computer at 5pm on a Friday or from the speakers at your favorite watering hole at 2am on Sunday, you knew that portion of your day was over and it was time (no pun intended) to move on.

Moving on can be difficult, stressful, and inconvenient, and could be why we tend to avoid it. On the other hand, closing a chapter can be a cause for celebration such as New Year's Eve, a wedding, or a graduation. Think of how good it felt after finishing a major project and you were told it was a job well done. Learn More >

Fraud. Phishing schemes. Misappropriation of funds. Social engineering. Th ese words are all too common today as we are bombarded with news stories of companies and industries falling victim to hackers and scam artists. We can no longer sit back and say, "it will never happen to me" because we could soon find ourselves saying, "I never thought it would happen to me, but it did." Think about how many hours each week you spend at your business and how hard you work to be the best at what you do. Less-than-virtuous individuals  are working just as hard to take it all away, and it is their full-time job. We must be ready to fight back.   Learn More >
