Tax season always tells a story.

This year, one pattern was clear: the most prepared business owners weren’t the ones with the simplest returns. They were the ones with clean books, cash-flow visibility, and proactive conversations before deadlines got close.

A few lessons stood out:

✅ Waiting until April limits your options
✅ Clean bookkeeping makes tax planning easier
✅ “Same as last year” can be risky when tax laws change
✅ Major business decisions should be discussed before year-end
✅ Your tax return should be a report card, not a surprise

The best time to make next tax season easier is right now.

At Harper & Co CPAs Plus, we help entrepreneurs look ahead, not just look back - so tax season becomes the result of a plan, not a scramble.

Why Google Hired a Historian to Save Its Future 🏛️🚀

When Google recruited Maximos Lih, he didn't give them a standard corporate pitch. Instead, he told them:

"I don’t know much about recruiting... but I know more than anyone should about the rise and fall of the Roman Empire."

Most companies would have ended the interview there. Google’s response? "That’s exactly what we’re afraid of. We’ll create a job for you."

In our latest episode of Empowering Entrepreneurs, Maximos (Founder of Emboldened LLC and former Google/Google Ventures leader) breaks down why "weird" backgrounds are often the secret sauce to scaling world-class companies.

The "Mediocrity Trap"
In the early days, Google was terrified of one thing: scaling so fast they became another corporate dinosaur. They didn't just need recruiters; they needed people who understood systems, psychology, and organizational design.

Key Takeaways for Leaders:
👉The Power of the Generalist: Maximos used his background in cognitive science and history to act as a data researcher, helping Google scale from Search to Maps without losing its soul.

👉Intersectionality: Success happens at the intersection of People, Systems, and Revenue. If you can master all three, you become indispensable.

👉Human-First Growth: Why the "secret language" of venture capital is actually about understanding human behavior.

Whether you’re an immigrant navigating a new market or a founder trying to scale without losing your culture, Maximos’s journey from history scholar to executive coach is a masterclass in breaking the mold.
