What was the process like for opening up a banking institution and getting FDIC insurance? Can you elaborate on the timeframe, requirements, or other unique challenges you had to deal with?

This is also true in the accounting industry. Internal accountants are cost-centers and not viewed as value-add departments, whereas in public accounting each accountant is a revenue-generator.

Internally, it seemed like the less management saw of us, the better.
