🚨 **𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚:** It's National Poetry Day and we’ve just uncovered the previously unreleased first draft of Robert Frost’s legendary poem 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙏𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙣 and let’s just say, it hits a little too close to home for accounting firms today. In this early version—rumored to have been penned under the pseudonym Bobby Chill—Frost reflects on a common dilemma we see all too often: missing out on growth due to insufficient staffing capacity. Sound familiar? --- 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝘉𝘺 𝘉𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘺 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘭 (𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘙𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘵) Two projects knocked at our door that day,   And sorry we couldn’t take both away   And be fully staffed, long we thought   We should have flexed, but we were caught,   Without enough hands to lead the way.  Then took the smaller, easier one,   Hoping the other could still be won.   Yet knowing that clients rarely wait,   We let the larger slip too late—   The chance to scale was soon undone.  Both deals that morning equally gleamed   But one was larger, more than we dreamed.   Oh, we kept the other for later still!   But finding staff became uphill,   And so we lost what once had seemed.  I tell this now with a heavy heart:   Two deals diverged and fell apart—   We took the one our team could spare,   But with contractors, we’d have been there. --- 💡 This previously unreleased draft of the iconic poem reminds us of how staffing decisions can change the trajectory of a business. With access to a vetted network of A-list consultants, you’ll never have to turn down that big opportunity again. Is your team ready for growth? Reach out, and let’s talk about how Beech Valley Solutions can help you scale. Happy National Poetry Day Everyone! #NationalPoetryDay #StaffingSolutions #Consulting #BeechValley

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 (𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁) 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 - 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟴𝘁𝗵 On this day in 521 BCE, ancient Greece revolutionized accounting with the introduction of the first official supplementary tax form. The Athenian government, tired of citizens claiming their goats as “dependents,” rolled out the Form ΓΑΦΟΣ-1, which required detailed disclosures of property, income, and livestock holdings. The form, carved meticulously into stone tablets, was so complex that philosophers reportedly spent hours debating the meaning of “fair market value” of extra virgin olive oil. Citizens lined up to file their returns, hoping they wouldn't wind up owing a sacrifice to the gods. Thus began the tradition of tax season stress—a legacy that lives on and gave birth to the expression "When in Greece... keep your receipts.". #AccountingHistory #AncientGreece

“I’m looking for an accounting firm that will send my tax records overseas,” said no client ever. Yet, offshoring audit and tax work can seem tempting—until you start dealing with time zones, communication delays, and fun little “surprise” errors. Here’s why sticking with **US-based contractors** is the way to go: 𝟭. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 US-based accountants know US tax and GAAP inside and out—because they live it every day. That means fewer errors for you to fix, less back-and-forth, and no need to play “Guess the Accounting Standard” with your audit team. 𝟮. 𝗦𝗮𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗯𝘆𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 No one likes spending hours fixing mistakes. With US contractors, you’ll get cleaner, more accurate work from professionals who have been working on US tax and audit work throughout their careers. It’s like hitting the "easy button" for busy season. 𝟯. 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 = 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 Ever try to explain a complex tax issue at 3 AM because your offshore team is awake but your brain isn’t? With US contractors, you’re working on the same clock. Communication is easy and timely. Plus, your clients will love the faster responses and quicker turnarounds. 𝟰. 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 When you offshore, you’re literally sending your clients' sensitive data to another country—often out of your control. With US-based contractors, you maintain data residency within the US, ensuring that your clients’ information stays secure and managed under the protection of US laws. That means you know exactly where your data is, and who’s handling it. It’s peace of mind you can count on. 𝟱. 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗹𝗲  Got a busy season coming up? No problem. US contractors can scale up with your needs, and you won’t have to worry about training, time zones, or errors that make your internal review team scream into their empty coffee cup. If you’re looking for reliable, expert help that works with you (and not against your schedule), stick with **US-based contractors**. Trust us, your clients—and your sanity—will thank you. #Audit #Tax #StreamlinedProcesses #AccountingExcellence #BeechValleySolutions

Do you have the offshoring blues? We wrote a song for you! Offshoring Blues (Parody of "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash) (Verse 1) I hear the emails pinging, they're coming through the night, I ain't seen my bed since 2 a.m., something ain't right. I'm stuck here offshoring, and man, I’m feelin’ blue, Those deadlines keep a-missing, and I don’t know what to do. (Verse 2) When I first started sending, it sounded like a dream, The costs were lookin' lower, but things ain't what they seem. Now I’m chasing answers, and the hours just drag on, I wish I’d kept it local, but now the trust is gone. (Chorus) I’ve got the offshoring blues, it’s making my head spin, Thought I’d save some money, but now it’s wearing thin. The calls keep getting dropped, and the work just ain’t on time, I’ve got the offshoring blues, and I’m paying with lost time. (Verse 3) There’s code that’s left unfinished, and taxes out of whack, Clients keep on calling, they want their money back. I’m losing sleep and patience, and the stress is piling high, Wishing I could rewind, keep the talent stateside. (Chorus) I’ve got the offshoring blues, it’s making my head spin, Thought I’d save some money, but now it’s wearing thin. The calls keep getting dropped, and the work just ain’t on time, I’ve got the offshoring blues, and I’m paying for the crime. (Bridge) Well if I ever get out of this, I swear I’ll make a change, Keep my business local, so I don’t go insane. I’ll hire US accountants, who get the job done right, And leave these offshoring blues behind, for a peaceful night. (Chorus) I’ve got the offshoring blues, but I’ll turn it all around, Gonna fix the mess I’m in, and bring my work back to town. No more missed connections, just quality and care, I’ve got the offshoring blues, but soon I’ll breathe fresh air. (Outro) Yeah, I’m ditching offshoring, and it’s the best news, Goodbye to all my troubles, goodbye offshoring blues. ---- Looking for a cure? We're ready to connect you with top US-based public accounting consultants you will like, respect, and trust.
