Since the release of ChatGPT in November of last year, headlines about AI in business have been incessant. One of the biggest controversies is whether or not AI is a threat to the job market. Lots of differing opinions on this one, and time will soon reveal its lasting effects. I’ve personally observed a whole gamut… Read More

We’re just over a month away from the MLB playoffs, and this year (like every year) has had its share of sketchy calls that fans and players have been unhappy about. While not everyone’s favorite summer pastime (the sports season that never ends still has more than two months of games to go), this summer… Read More

I suppose there’s never been an easy time to be in business. It’s tempting to look at the current economic situation and cite all the things working against business owners right now. And Google helps with that… My internet search this morning lent me the following statistics: Inflation is the top concern for 32% of… Read More

You may have seen the recent headlines announcing that Americans left almost 1.5 billion dollars in unclaimed tax refunds in 2019 because of unfiled tax returns. That’s a lot of money that will become the property of the U.S. Department of the Treasury when it could have gone back into the hands of about 1.5 million people… Read More

Remember three years ago when you depended on Zoom for work meetings and virtual schooling for your kids? While you’re probably really grateful the second one isn’t a reality anymore, the first one still had its appeal (unless something like this happened). Working from home had its perks.

I’m sure you’ve noticed the rising pressure to tip in recent years. You go to pay for your drip coffee, the barista flips over the kiosk, and you’re confronted with the request to tip. I had lunch at a new restaurant and the owner and I struck up a conversation regarding her employee tips. Of… Read More

This year has been a less-than-fun rollercoaster in the world of finance. Well, good news on that front — no more recession bogeyman lurking under the bed, at least that’s what the Fed declared as they raised rates again last week. Doesn’t mean more interest rate hikes aren’t ahead or that inflation’s fully cooled, but things appear to be… Read More

Did you see the Barbie movie or Oppenheimer this weekend? Or jump in with the 200,000 other Barbenheimers and see both? In case you didn’t, your social media feed likely filled you in on what you missed (or didn’t, depending on your view of these things). What a weekend for the movie industry as a… Read More

Unless you’re a tax pro like me (who lives and breathes this stuff), you want to think about taxes as little as possible. Especially post-tax deadlines. Out of sight, out of mind until next year, right? Not really. If you’re a local Wilmington business owner or have a gig economy hustle, you’ve got to make… Read More

Filing your taxes is never a fun thing to do, but if you don’t file them at all then the IRS will come calling. They have unbridled power to file a return on your behalf in theirs, not yours, best interest. They have powerful collection tools and an unforgiving nature that makes this one of… Read More
