When your budget update sounds like “not much to see here.”

This week, Frankie and Sarah sit down with Baker Tilly tax partner Rosa Maria Iuliano, who’s been decoding federal budgets for over two decades. Together, they dive into the 2025 federal budget, what’s new, what’s missing, and what’s been quietly pushed aside.

And while it may have been a “boring” tax budget year, that might just be the good news we all needed.
