Marcum is the largest independent public accounting and advisory company. In this spot a woman breaks the fourth wall while simultaneously lying to her "friend," about an IRS audit. The IRS audited her company, you see, and she went through a boatload of antacid and had to be sedated until she called Marcum. All the while she tells the other woman it'll be fine and it's no biggie, with this shit-eating gin on her face because she asked Marcum about it. Doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about the people who use Marcum.
