My CPA has a wonderful voice

[susandennis]

I called the outfit I found last Friday - Smith & Just. I got the impression from the woman who answered the phone that they don't get a lot of 'street traffic' but she soon hooked me up with Britt (I gather from the website that he is the Smith). Who was very kind and said he would be happy to talk to me and how about tomorrow at 4. Whew. And he has a great voice. The kind of voice that says 'don't worry! It will all be fine. You won't be homeless and you won't go to jail.' Just what I wanted to hear. Whew.

I sent off a 21 page fax to the finance guy's assistant to get cost basis for what the IRS wants for last year's return.

I'm feeling a little more under control.

That was the best part of my job. A client would call me after a sleepless night, and I calmly took the worry out of their lives. I felt like a doctor with healing medicine.

They loved me the best when I would go to the IRS office audits in their place. I'd tell them to just stay home, I'd take care of it. And I did.

See, it is already so worth it. Just make sure you get a CPA with an edge.

Good ol' Britt's qualifications include:

1973 to 1978 - Internal Revenue Service, Seattle, Washington - Revenue Agent (stabilization), examining for compliance with Phase IV Wage and Price Controls; Revenue Agent (audit), examining for compliance with Internal Revenue Code. Approximately one-half of audit time devoted to tax shelters and development of potential fraud cases.

If he does, in fact, tell you not to worry . . he knows whereof he speaks! When you have to bring in a "pro", you can't go wrong with one who's very familiar with the way the "enemy" thinks!

Sending good vibes your way, Susan . . it'll be just fine . . it's a karma thing and your karma is the good kind!
