Tax season is upon us, and at Cray Kaiser, that means two things: extra efforts and the fiercest office rivalry this side of the accounting world. While our team spends their weekdays crunching numbers, lunchtime on Saturdays is reserved for a different kind of competition. Welcome to Season 3 of CK Nation – a high-stakes battle between Team Assurance and Team Tax, where spreadsheets take a backseat to sportsmanship (and sometimes sheer luck).

CK Nation isn’t just about bragging rights. Oh, no, it’s more than that. It’s about survival. When the calculators are put down and the coffee pots are refilled, our accountants, auditors, and tax professionals engage in epic lunchtime showdowns. Every Saturday, these two powerhouse teams face off in challenges designed to test their skill, precision, and ability to function on a diet of takeout and caffeine. Game on!

A Rivalry for the Ages

Will Team Assurance audit their past performances and give themselves a glowing review? Or will Team Tax claim the ultimate deduction, writing off their opponents’ chances entirely? No one knows for sure but with fierce competition, nonstop puns, and the ever-watchful eyes of our dynamic ref duo (one tall, one questionable, both equally ruthless), there’s no room for funny business. Every match is a battle for bragging rights!

Expect the Unexpected. Every. Single. Time.

Every year brings a fresh season of wild, heart-pounding challenges, but past competitions have included some true greats. There’s Cards, where players master the high-stakes art of flicking playing cards into a distant trash can. Top Gun takes paper airplane precision to legendary heights – so intense that even Maverick and Goose might think twice. And then there’s Field Goal, where the delicate craft of finger football meets tiny uprights and big bragging rights. Of course, we also honor the classics like Hot Potato, Chopsticks, and Bowling because some games never go out of style.

But here’s the twist: teams never know what game they’ll face next. Each challenge is kept top secret, adding to the suspense and strategy. Every Saturday brings a spectacular surprise, turning players into quick-thinking competitors ready to conquer whatever comes their way!

The Coveted CK Cup

At stake? The illustrious, highly sought-after CK Cup. Forget championship rings or gold medals – this trophy represents the pinnacle of tax-season athleticism. Only one team will claim the honor of hoisting the CK Cup at season’s end. Will it be a meticulous strategist of Assurance or a tax-savvy tactician from Team Tax? The battle rages on.

One thing’s for sure: when April rolls around, there will be one winner and one office full of high fives and celebration, knowing we thrived through another tax season – not just with spreadsheets, but with a bit of fun along the way.

Stay tuned for more updates, and may the best team win!
