Stop us if you’ve heard this one - what is the definition of “accountant?” Answer: Someone who solves a problem you didn’t know you had in a way you don’t understand.

So, if we’re starting with an accountant joke, it can only mean one thing - Patron and No. 1 Friend of the Show, the Abbot of Accountancy himself Johnny Barranco is back again with some year-end advice and assistance to help make sure your actuals actualize and your balances balance. First tip - don’t be the guy who comes into the accountant office on April 10 and brings in the battered old Adidas box full of random receipts, figures scribbled on napkins and the two inexplicable packets of duck sauce… yes, if that is you, your accountant probably isn’t actively planning your death but he won’t be sad when you leave this earth.

Our boys Sid and Keith will make sure to get every last drop of that great wisdom Johnny always bring us, that good good that will mean more money in your wallet instead of Uncle Sam’s.

So before you start hitting Uncle Gene’s special egg nog and picking your seat at Christmas Eve dinner to try to avoid chatty  Aunt Carol, be sure to tune in for this week’s Overlap Podcast - you can … account … for a good time to be had.
