Welcome back to RDTFM, where Dalton, Chad, and Chris crack open Hamilton Family Brewery's Cactus Jack, Brix City's Tasty Jams, and Edmund's Oast Bound by Time IPA on tax deadline day.

41 min

Dalton, Chad, and Chris are back with Birdsong Brewery's Hazy Sexy Cool, Stone's Chill Villain IPA, and a Lagunitas Trooper with Iron Maiden artwork on the can.

Club Championship Week, Messy Prior-Year Returns, and TikTok Tax Advice

35 min

Dalton, Chad, and Chris are back with a Fractal Enigma, a 10% triple IPA that might end Chad's night early, and a blood orange IPA. This week the guys cover range sessions that don't carry over to the course, a junior golfer's first legit par, and what to do when a new client's prior-year books turn out to be a disaster.

The Productive Pause, Swing Rebuilds, and the Best Red Ever

45 min

Welcome back to RDTFM, where Dalton, Chad, and Chris crack open a Day of the Dead double red, a local hazy, and a Lowcountry favorite. This week we're flipping the Approach segment on its head, trading the usual advisory scenario for a conversation about unplugging, leading better, and why stepping away might be the most productive thing a firm owner can do.

A Free Driver, Bunny Beer Regret, and the $100K S Corp Test

37 min

Welcome back to RDTFM, where Dalton, Chad, and Chris crack a few IPAs and get into everything from charity scramble golf to the entity-selection conversation every CPA has had a hundred times. This week: a second-place finish that paid better than first, a rehab milestone at TopGolf, and a hard look at the worst business advice on social media.

Swing Rebuilds, Profitable but Broke, and the Marshmallow IPA Mistake

33 min

Welcome back to RDTFM, where Dalton, Chad, and Chris dodge a looming tax deadline long enough to crack open a few more IPAs. This week brings a first-ever golf lesson, a counterintuitive bunker tip, and the debut of a brand-new segment where the guys tackle a real-world client puzzle.

Beer, Golf & Business

Three CPAs who each run a small firm crack open a beer, talk golf like it’s a second job, and dig into the real business advisory questions they see every week. The golf varies. The beer gets a score.

The fine print. RDTFM is for general information and entertainment only. It’s not tax, accounting, legal, or investment advice, and listening doesn’t make any of us your CPA. Your situation is your own, so talk to your own advisor before you act on anything you hear here. The views on the show belong to the hosts, not their firms. The language is explicit. And if you’re drinking along, be 21 or older and drink responsibly.
