The IC-DISC Show

Today on the IC-DISC Show I had a great conversation with Adam Traweek of Amegy bank in Houston, Texas.

As a banker, Adam's able to give us more of a lay person's perspective of the IC-DISC and how he uses it as a potential differentiator when talking to prospective clients.

We ended the conversation talking about the IC-DISC from a technical perspective and the different ways a bank can structure client loan documents and loan covenants to encompass an IC-DISC.

This was a wide-ranging interview, and I really enjoyed talking to Adam. I think you'll appreciate his bright, down to earth approach too.

Today on the IC-DISC Show I am really excited to have the opportunity to interview Neal Block of Baker & McKenzie.

Neal is referred to as the godfather of the IC-DISC. He has been doing IC-DISC work since its inception in 1971, and he really has an amazing background having worked with clients since the start of the program.

His breadth of knowledge and experience is fascinating. He's always very engaging to talk to and has story after story to illustrate every example of his IC-DISC work over the last 50 years.

I hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed recording it. It really is a 'must listen' episode.

Today on the IC-DISC Show we're talking with John Flatowicz, former managing partner of Briggs and Veselka, the largest independent CPA firm in Houston, Texas.

John has a great back story, and it was interesting to hear how he joined Briggs and Veselka to start the audit practice at the ripe old age of 26 years old, and about the philosophies he had back then, that he and the firm still have today.

Briggs and Veselka are a firm that grew from nine people in 1982 to over 300 people today, and there are a lot of great insights into developing a CPA firm, or really any other client service firm.

Today on the IC-DISC Show we’re talking with Meril Markley.

It’s a great conversation. Merrill has a unique perspective on tax law having previously work on the staff of Congressman Kevin Brady, who was subsequently chairman of the House Ways and means committee.

We also talked about the history of tax policy, and how it’s influenced the history of Western civilization in some surprising ways. In particular, the idea that the fall of the Roman empire was due in part, to the tax system at the time.

So I think you’re going to enjoy this great, wide ranging conversation with Meril.
