A KPMG Consulting associate pitched a 26-page proposal to send themselves to Australia unsupervised. The Avis Car Rentals engagement got approved, but tax complications killed it two weeks before departure.
I want to hear more about Australia. That sounds awesome. What— how long were you there for? And you're based in LA now, right? Yeah. So I was living in New York working at KPMG Consulting, and basically I always wanted to go to Australia. My client was Avis Car Rentals and we were doing an engagement in Australia and I was an associate at the time. I wrote a 26-page proposal deck for why they should send an associate to Australia with no supervision. I should just be there. And they approved it and they were gonna send me. And about 2 weeks before I was supposed to go, all these tax implications came up and they're like, we can't send you.
