Retailers are beginning to price more competitive as consumer spending slows. If you're chomping at the bit for some indication of where interest rates will head, you'll be looking forward to this Friday's PCE price index release, just subsequent to Thursday's GDP numbers. "Retailers recognize that unless they pull out some stops on pricing, they are going to have difficulty holding on to the customers they got," Neil Saunders, managing director of consulting and data analysis firm GlobalData, said. "The consumer really has had enough of inflation, and they're starting to take action in terms of where they shop, how they shop, the amount they buy." While discounts are an everyday tool in retail, Saunders said these price cuts mark the first big "price war" since inflation started taking hold. #cfo #economy #inflation

Are CEOs paid too much? Per AP News, CEOs of S&P 500 companies make nearly 200X what their average workers make. Before owning my own small-business and now working closely with a public company CEO, I would have unequivocally said yes. Now, I'm not too sure. Here are a few factors that have challenged my former stance: - Generally, especially in a small-business, the CEO bears most if not all of the risk. When my small-business went under in 2021, my employees found new jobs. I alone was on the hook for any outstanding payables, debt, leases, unused inventory, etc. - 70% of the CEO compensation from this study is stock awards. Not only are stock awards non-cash, but they generally vest over longer time horizons and are tied to company performance. - A small-business owner/CEO never has the ability to 'unplug'. They are always thinking about their business, putting out fires, juggling shareholder demands, etc. They do not have the luxury of unplugging from work from 5pm to 9am like their employees. - A CEO can make or break a business. They set the vision for the company, communicate that to the outside world, and set the tone at the top internally. They must make consequential decisions quickly each and every day. What are your thoughts on CEO/business owner pay? What did I miss?

Are you operating a partnership and perform services in New York City (NYC)? Are you operating a partnership and have customers in NYC, but don't perform services in NYC? New York City's inconsistent approach for sourcing sales of partnerships for state income tax apportionment purposes can cause confusion and errors. Make sure your tax preparer is aware of the opportunity or risk. #newyorkcity #NYC #salessourcing #apportionment #incometax #tax #taxes #stateandlocaltax #SALT #multistatetax #statetax #middlemarket #privateequity #servicecompanies #services #lawfirms #accountingfirms #consultingfirms #technology #consulting #law #accounting #cfo #controller
