| Editor's Note |
|
  It's vacation time: Do you know where your WIFI is? Generational expert Phyllis Weiss Haserot notes that, young or old, we are all getting connected, and we all seem to get just a little frantic if we can't find a way to get online when traveling. "Tech, generations, and connectedness" is one of this month's guest articles, all of which focus on various aspects of practice management.
Best wishes,

To contest or not to contest: Unemployment compensation claims
|
|
|
Former employees occasionally seek unemployment benefits they don’t deserve, either because they are desperate, confused, or trying to cheat the system. Employers, bearing the cost of unemployment payments, must evaluate whether to challenge those unemployment claims.

Struggling to find experienced recruits?
|
|
|
Although the number of accounting graduates has increased, the supply of accountants with seven or more years of accounting experience lags demand. This is especially true for tax practice leaders and professionals with specialized expertise, such as international tax, SEC, or FAS 109 proficiency.

Growing your business
|
|
|
Selling doesn't work. The customers are in control. They decide what they want to buy. It's not about us or even our goods and services. It's about them, our customers, and how they buy.

What would Bill Clinton do?
|
|
|
What would Bill Clinton do if his cell phone rang while he was locked in a conversation with you? Would he check to see if it was Chelsea? Hillary? ("Sorry, she's boarding a plane to the Middle East and I need to catch her.")
