Even though we’re accountants, we get that financial reports aren’t at the top of every small business owner’s to do list. Most small businesses run on slim budgets and personnel staff of one or just a few. But whether you keep your own books or employ the services of a bookkeeper or accountant, understanding the numbers can help your small business just as much as it could help a large corporation.

When it comes to the US jobs situation, the “One of these things is not like the others” song from Sesame Street comes to mind. We have two competing narratives. Official data says millions are unemployed and seeking work. At the same time, businesses say they can’t find enough workers. A skills mismatch between the workers who need jobs and the job openings themselves isn’t unusual.

We talk with clients everyday about their business and we love it. As accountants, we spend a lot of time with the books and we love the numbers and details, but we get that not everyone does. Part of growing your business is knowing when to pull the lever to hire a professional rather than continue to DIY things yourself. So when is the right time to hire an accountant?
Speaker: Claire Grosjean, Global Finance & Operations Executive

The fourth Transformers movie, the one with Mark Wahlberg, was the blockbuster movie of the summer. And the CAPE ratio hit 25 for just the third time in the last hundred years. A lot was made of this arbitrary number at the time.

The most commonly asked question in the Animal Spirits inbox is, "I'm saving up for a house. Where do I invest this money in the meantime?" There are three things at play here that are driving these questions: Rates on cash are zero or close to it. With home prices increasing, people feel like their cash just isn't cutting it.
