It's hard to believe, but some of us are already just a few short weeks from returning to our labs to work on the 2019 books with our staffs. With that in mind, I turned to an experienced group of advisers and asked one question: what resources are must-haves in your labs?

The responses range from bulletin boards to coffee makers to seven-foot-tall teddy bears — so take a listen and get ready for the year ahead! From planning and organization tools to fuzzy blankets for a staffer feeling under the weather, this is what you'll find in the labs of some of the country's most experienced advisers.
