Supply chain and procurement teams are being asked to do far more than control costs and keep goods moving. Tariffs, supplier risk and continued disruption have made these functions increasingly important to how businesses protect margins and plan for what comes next.

Our latest blog looks at how that shift is changing the role of supply chain and procurement talent. We’re seeing this shift firsthand at Brilliant, with growing demand for experienced professionals across supply chain, procurement, logistics and operations.

We value our partnership with the Illinois CPA Society (ICPAS) and the opportunities it creates to connect with accounting and finance professionals across the Chicago area.

At SUMMIT26, we contributed to that conversation with a discussion on why public accounting experience remains such a strong foundation in today’s talent market. Thank you to the ICPAS team for another thoughtful, well-run event, and to Doug Lowery and Justin Lagen, CPA for representing Brilliant.

Tariff refunds are creating a significant new workstream for accounting and finance teams. In Chicago alone, several companies recently reported a combined $857 million in refunds, while nearly $100 billion has been returned nationwide.

For many organizations, the impact goes well beyond the refund itself. Teams are managing added work across reconciliations, reporting, documentation, analysis and financial planning, all while continuing to evaluate changing tariff and supply chain considerations.

As these projects become more complex and time-sensitive, having the right expertise in place can make a real difference. Brilliant supports organizations with experienced accounting and finance talent to help keep critical initiatives moving forward.

On Friday, our Chicago team took full advantage of summer in the city with an afternoon at Café Olivia on Ohio Street Beach, along with some Chicago Air & Water Show action overhead. ☀️✈️

It was great day bringing the team together outside of the office, enjoying the lakefront, and spending some quality time with the people we work alongside every day.
