If Tax Advisors picked Halloween costumes, what would they wear?

A mermaid for diving deep into the details. A police officer for keeping an eye on every number. A judge for reviewing the facts. A GI Joe for taking on tough challenges. Or maybe Barbie because adaptability is a superpower.

Running a business has never been simple. A century ago, owners handled payroll by hand, hired through word of mouth, and often managed employee concerns without a formal HR department.
