Don’t try to explain it to me
Tax season is starting in the USA.
You might be hiring an accountant to do taxes for you.
If you do here are two things we expect from an accountant.
Taxes are filed with as little hassle as possible from us.
Taxes filed with us paying as little tax as is legally possible.
That’s it.
I don’t care…
What forms the accountant fills out.
What deductions they choose to take.
What tax laws have changed since last year.
How city, state, and federal returns are different.
I expect the accountant to know all that, handle all that and please don’t try to explain it to me.
Or expect me to make decisions about it.

When a business team comes to you with a data request here are two things they expect from you.
That the data will be delivered with as little hassle from them as possible.
That it will be accurate and meet their needs in the most effective way.
That’s it.
They don’t care…
What Python library you use
What data quality checks are in place
How you had to redesign the pipeline to accommodate a new data source.
How bad the previous data engineer messed everything up and you had to fix it.
They expect you to know all that. And to make the best decisions related to it so they can get the results they need.
I’m glad you are here,
