Calling your Accountant a 'Bean Counter'

Send him a bottle of good wine.

 

I can't imagine it's too insulting...unless, of course, your accountant is of Mexican descent.

 

Other names you avoid.

Flight Attendant = Stew

Starbucks Beverage Professional = Coffee skirt

Domestic Engineer = House wife

Building maintenance Professional = Janitor

Landscape Engineer = the guy that cuts my grass

Front Office Manager = Office Nazi

Food Service Professional = Drive-thru monkey

 

and the bill for the wine.

 

with shipping and handling costs.

 

And for you home escrow fans out there...."warehousing fee"

 

I don't think so. It's kinda like calling a chiropractor a doctor.

 

lmfao

 

I dunno but when my bloodsucking sheister suggested I up my life policy, the insurance co. required that I see my quack for a current physical!

Pete....

Seriously, use kid gloves like you know I would! Tell him if he doesn't appreciate your sense of humor, he can go phuck himself and you'll walk one block down to the next corner and choose one of the three Bean Counters, who's offices you passed, and hire him!

But, say it with a smile! A little sugar goes a long way!

 

not really, Mexicans just like to eat the beans and don't mind counting them...

As for the original question, may be your accountant was a little touchy at the time. Not too bad I would say.

 

What do accountants use as contraceptives..........................................






Their personality!

 

LMAO!

 

Hey, why did you spare the death bookie?

 

I am a firm believer of always leaving a buck in it for the next guy!!!

 

i have no beef with my accuontant, but i stil like to call him a little *****

 

Give me a break. I know it's hard to believe but there are some less than flattering terms for my profession!


....just don't call me late to dinner....

 

Peter,

Your guy needs to lighten up. Jeeesh....When I'm at home, away from work and handling the kids, my wife calls me her "House B!tch." All in fun.

Dane

 

That was you? I had to call Dr. Fishsticks to get that removed! mother-f(*&*( paper cuts!!!

 

That's actually kinda hot.

 

I tried it on her....didn't work.

 

I have always thought "bean counters" were cut from a different cloth. I tell ya, numbers with monitary associations do things to people. Scientific numbers have different affects as well, but collectively they share the same character.

 

When I told her "Keep the change" I didn't mean keep it there!

 

Speaking of accountants - what does your accountant bill you to do your personal and or llc taxes??? I just got my bill and was irate... I'm just trying to get a ball park figure for bean counting costs .

Figure personal taxes took him about 1.5 hours (includes just chatting, "How are the kids?", "Gee, is that a new sofa?", etc.

LLC taxes, took about 6-10 hours. This is a brand new LLC, so took a bit of time to organize. About 3-4 hours face to face time (2 seperate visits), then a lot of phone calls chasing small details, clarifying bills, etc. Keep in mind this is a single member llc, with only several properties in it. No employees, no w-2, no quarterly tax statements...

ANY GUESSES??? ANYONE?? Lets see who gets closest!!!

What did your accountant bill you, and what was the scope of the work? I don't want nasty personal details, just a range of what one might consider reasonable...
