From accountable plans and employee reimbursements to mileage, travel, cell phones, remote work expenses, and fringe benefits, Eric Franklin, Tax CPA explains how small, legitimate tax-saving opportunities can add up over time.

The conversation also covers what documentation businesses should have in place, whether owners can deduct their own time, how “sweat equity” works from a tax perspective, and where the line can start to blur between smart tax planning and being too aggressive.

Does hosting the World Cup actually make a city money? And when a sports team wants a new stadium, who should pay for it?

In this episode of Where We Meet, Jessica Freiburg, Izabela Poludniak and Tyler Cuda take a look at the business and economics behind sports. The conversation starts with the World Cup and the growing excitement around soccer in the United States, but quickly turns to the financial side: the cost of hosting major sporting events, the impact on local businesses and whether cities actually see a return on their investment.

From there, the group gets into the growing investment behind the Chicago Fire, MLS and women’s sports, how superstar athletes can transform a market, and why developing youth participation may be critical to the long-term growth of a league. The discussion on women’s sports also touches on how greater private and corporate investment is creating more sustainable professional opportunities for athletes.

Celebrating Pride at Sassetti 🌈

Our team came together to recognize Pride Month with an event centered on inclusion, connection, and belonging. It was a meaningful opportunity to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, show support for our colleagues, shared slides highlighting the history of the LGBTQ+ movement, and reflect on the importance of creating a workplace where everyone feels seen, valued, and respected.

At Sassetti, inclusion is part of how we continue to grow together. We are proud to celebrate Pride and stand with the LGBTQ+ community, this month and every month.

This morning, our team traded spreadsheets for shovels and spent the day volunteering with the organization Avenues to Independence (https://bit.ly/4eew9in). Together, we rolled up our sleeves to remove weeds and help refresh the outdoor spaces that residents enjoy every day.

We're grateful for the opportunity to support an organization that does such meaningful work in our community and to spend time giving back alongside our colleagues.

A big thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped make the day a success. Sometimes the best team-building happens outside the office!

Through interactive sessions, team discussions, and real-world insights, students had the opportunity to explore the many career paths available in public accounting and gain a firsthand look at life at Sassetti.

From connecting with our professionals to participating in friendly competition and collaborative activities, the day was filled with meaningful conversations, valuable lessons, and plenty of fun.

Thank you to all the students who joined us and to our team members who helped make this event such a success. We look forward to seeing the impact you'll make on the profession in the years ahead.
