Manage episode 430114817 series 3405141
In this episode of the talkBIG podcast, host Andrew Sykes is joined by a lineup of seasoned professionals from RSM, each bringing their unique expertise to the table. We explore the wide world of professional services to try to pinpoint when, exactly, it’s time to speak to a professional.
People often try a very DIY approach to things, and sometimes that’s appropriate – for example: you don’t need an electrician to change your lightbulb but you should hire one if you’re rewiring your kitchen. In this episode, we explore the question from a business and personal finance perspective to determine the exact line in various professional and personal scenarios where consulting a professional is not just advisable, it's mandatory.
This episode is a treasure trove of knowledge for anyone seeking professional advice on a range of financial and business matters, from IPOs and wealth management to cyber security and R&D tax incentives. Tune in to gain valuable insights from these industry leaders and learn when it's time to call in the experts.
