Welcome back to yet another episode of.. The Fun CPA!

This week, Yuri is joined by Dominic Piscopo the founder of Big4Transparency.com, a widely used resource for salary transparency in the accounting industry, reaching nearly 250,000 accounting professionals. This data source was developed by Dominic himself, and helps professionals across the industry navigate the job market, pick the right employer and get paid what they’re worth.

Dominic joins Yuri to share what drove him to create such a game-changing tool – and why he felt the need to create more clarity in an industry that is notorious for being slippery on the details of compensation.

Dominic also covers his time as an entrepreneur, the challenges (and benefits) he’s
experienced and the secret sauce behind his slightly unusual, yet potent marketing strategy.
