Whew - a lot of googling for me to get the grid.
I am off the couch but awaiting confirmation
Confirmed. Great construction and creativity

I only had to google for one letter (which I ultimately did not need to solve) and am confirmed off the couch, though I backed into the answer by a different mechanism than intended.

OTC. It's time to unwind after struggling with the grid. I liked this meta. Great job, Chris !!

Having worked with PW (then PwC) for nearly 40 years, that firm is well-known to me (but I get that it may be esoteric to most). To loosely quote Mike Shenk, if it's in the WSJ, it's fair game!
I'm a retired CPA as well, but ended up going the corporate route (PepsiCo / YUM Brands). Any other CPAs / Accountants on this forum?
Accountant but only corporate.

Off the Couch.
Very enjoyable, with manageable number of rabbit holes.
Thanks, and looking forward to future cbarbee002 MMMs!

pending confirmation, but I'm sure I've got it. Thanks Chris for a fun and clever meta!
...and as someone with allergies galore, I wanna get me a 12D!
EDIT: confirmed.

Off the couch (unconfirmed but confident). Even googling and map-searching didn’t help find 3D (on my computer, unless you input the name of the town it will not show up no matter how close-in you’re zoomed on the map! Now THAT is a small town). But I did know—and have in my pantry—both of the wheats mentioned (I make organic sourdough bread with ancient grains — yes as wonderful as it sounds).
I did bristle at the little hiccup mentioned in the intro (the tiny error) — spelling purist that I am. But it didn’t prevent the meta solve, knowing what was intended. Fun, easy meta — thanks!
And I had no idea so many of you had accounting backgrounds! Total right brainer here... I’m always amazed that someone would do maths for a living. As Mommaw always says (she’s almost 103; yes “says” not “said”), “it takes all kinds to make a world.” ( :

I apologized for that entry in the clues.
(But apparently too lazy to have "fixed" it.) . . . .

Off the couch (and unconfirmed but confident like HeadinHome). Totally agree that the grid was tough, but lovely AHA this morning!
