How much you charge for a tax return big dog?Because then he'll bill you more. I bill the clients I like probably 75% of the clients I don't like.

I've changed the world for the better.Amen. My CPA has me fill out a multi-page "Questionnaire" every year ... in advance. Because I'm OCD, I've replicated it into an Excel Spreadsheet broken down into separate worksheets for each relevant tax area which I send to him - along with the stoopid questionnaire and supporting documentation in .pdf form - in advance of our meeting. This Friday morning's appointment ought to last about 15 minutes.
Me: "Did you review the materials I sent you?"
Him: "Yes I did. Thank you again for doing that."
Me: "Any questions or any areas that are unclear to you?"
Him: "Nope. Seems pretty straight forward."
Me: "Call me when the return is done, and I'll run you up a check. L8R. Oh, some online accountant buddy of mine asked me to bring a gift. Here's some brownies that I baked for you. You should eat them at home and not drive for a while. Bye."
May your debits and credits forever balance.I've changed the world for the better.
I've had some odd gifts before but today takes the cake. So far this year I've got
A bottle of wine
A bottle of whiskey
Homemade BBQ sauce
Deli tray
Cheese cake
Today 2 Viagra
Older guy that was talking about Viagra during last years appt. We were laughing. His wife was super embarrassed. So he brought me a couple today.
What kind of audits?I don’t receive anything. As an auditor, I don’t suppose that should come as a surprise.
Actually, 2 accountant itt
4*Make that 3, but I got out of the Public Accounting game a long time ago... Much respect to those who can stay in that world, but it wasn't for me. Spent most of my life as a Global Controller before falling into a cushy Director of Finance role.

Still in public after 5 years. No idea if/when I’ll leave.
Negative. Mid sized firm in Omaha.Big 4, boss?
Are you on the Audit or Tax side? I interned with a small firm in Lincoln during my Junior and Senior year doing mostly tax and a few audits in the summer. When I graduated, I went to work for BKD on the audit side. They knew I had some tax experience, so when tax season rolled around, they asked if I would help out there (not really asking). So I got audit's busy season and tax's busy season and it burned me out something fierce. Once I had my 2 years, I bolted.4*

I’m strictly audit. If I was forced to help the tax team, I’d be gone.Are you on the Audit or Tax side?

I prefer that over audits. I still do them in the summer and fall but I hate it. We also do governmental audits so its the worst kind of auditing. I don't do much of anything in May and June.I’m strictly audit. If I was forced to help the tax team, I’d be gone.
I have coworkers in the tax department who will work 100 hour weeks multiple weeks in a row. I don’t think I’d last very long doing that haha
With technology these days, we’re traveling less and less. I’ve been to one client over the last year (primarily due to covid but it’s proven we don’t need to be on site). Otherwise I can see how one wouldn’t like auditing (I suppose there are other reasons too).I prefer that over audits. I still do them in the summer and fall but I hate it.

Had a Deloitte offer out of college, which is what I wanted, but actually chose a different firm after meeting with all of them. Very happy with my current employer.
What can I bring to help you save meI'm not really picky. Clearly they can see that I like food, alcohol, and sex.
Guy last week tried to give me some cash because he was going to bring me a bottle of liquor and forgot. I wouldn't accept the cash of course. Same guy brought me a bunch of fly tying material one year.
Sounds like I'm just blessed to have such nice clients. Maybe it's that I'm such a fantastic accountant that they feel they're underpaying so they feel guilty and bring me gifts. Probably some of both but mostly the latter.

More money?
