— a new episode in our podcast. Bureau NordRock — we look at complex business questions like an X-ray: and don’t look at the facade, we see the structure underneath.This podcast is where we have conversation about deals, ownership, risk and timing — without theory, without noise. In this One-on-One episode, our guest is Sofia Navruzbakova (tax expert, 13 years across Big4 and industry) and we talk about the part of deals that people often postpone until it becomes expensive: right time for tax questions. We touch base on:
* why tax “feels like homework”
* why CEOs now show up with AI screenshots and ask you to confirm them
* why the right question asked one week earlier can change the entire structure And, of course, AI. AI can give you an answer.It cannot carry responsibility.
And yes — somewhere between structures, judgment and late-night deal decisions, there is always a human factor. In this episode:
