Abstract: | I became a CPA so I would never have to talk to people. I left a career in sales to get as far away from customers as I could; becoming an accountant seemed a perfect way to achieve that goal. "Let me hide behind a spread-sheet and a Victor adding machine," I thought (this was a long time ago), "and leave me alone with my numbers." Maybe you can relate to that. Many CPAs can. That was back in the good old days - fees were secondary to work quality, old clients were loyal and new ones walked right through the door. Those times are long gone - work no longer falls into our laps, more people do their own taxes and CPAs compete against business outside of the profession. |
