Tax Musings of a Burbank CPA: The 10 simple rules of caring for your CPA this busy season

Here is a great discussion of how to make your CPA spouse’s life easier during the January through April (at least) ‘Tax Season’ (this always reminds me of ‘hunting season’ in the Bugs Bunny movies – you know, is it ‘rabbit season or duck season’ and then they find out it is ‘baseball season.’)  Maureen Schwartz gives you all the details: http://www.accountingtoday.com/acto_blog/10-simple-rules-of-caring-CPA-during-busy-season-69820-1.html This is by far the best handbook on CPA care (I hope my wife sees this) I have seen in all my years as a CPA.  It is true the few hours of down time (not sleep time, ‘Just Relax’ time) are precious and should be savored.     For financial,  accounting and tax musings, You can count on us to count for you!
