If I come across as rude or direct, please understand that it is usually because I have reached my limit with professional incompetence—especially when that incompetence causes real harm to clients.

What I cannot tolerate is watching professionals fail to do their jobs properly, leave clients dealing with the consequences, and then refuse to take accountability for their mistakes. It is even more upsetting when the client has a language barrier and placed their trust in professionals who were supposed to guide, protect, and advocate for them.

Recently, I began working with two new clients who are dealing with serious problems resulting from what appears to be significant failures by an accounting firm and an insurance company. These clients trusted the professionals they hired, and now they are the ones left trying to pick up the pieces.

I genuinely feel for them, and I will do everything within my professional ability to help correct the problems, advocate for them, and get things back on track.

Professional competence matters. Accountability matters. And when people place their finances, businesses, or livelihoods in your hands, their trust should never be taken lightly.

⚠️ THE WRONG ACCOUNTANT CAN PUT YOUR ENTIRE BUSINESS AT RISK ⚠️

Hiring an accountant or tax preparer isn’t just about finding someone who can enter numbers into software or file a tax return. You are trusting that person with one of the most important parts of your business: your financial and tax compliance.

An incompetent or careless accountant can create problems that may follow a business for years.

🚩 Unfiled or late tax returns can lead to penalties, interest, notices, and collection problems.

🚩 Sales tax collected but not properly reported or remitted can create serious liabilities for the business and, in some circumstances, responsible individuals.

🚩 Incorrect payroll reporting can result in unpaid payroll taxes, amended filings, penalties, and unnecessary scrutiny.

🚩 Poor bookkeeping can leave owners with financial statements that don’t accurately show whether the business is actually making or losing money.

🚩 Improperly classified expenses and transactions can distort taxable income and create problems when records are reviewed.

🚩 Missing reconciliations and incomplete records can allow errors to accumulate month after month without anyone noticing.

🚩 Failure to communicate deadlines and obligations can leave a business owner discovering a problem only after a government notice arrives.

And one of the biggest red flags?

An accountant who cannot clearly explain what was filed, what is owed, what remains outstanding, and why.

A competent accounting professional should help you understand your financial position—not keep you in the dark.

Business owners should regularly review their financial statements, request copies of filed tax returns, verify that required filings have actually been submitted, reconcile tax payments to their records, and ask questions when something doesn’t make sense.

Never assume something was filed simply because you paid someone to file it.

At the end of the day, hiring a professional does not make financial and tax problems disappear. Your business may still be responsible for correcting errors, paying outstanding obligations, and dealing with the consequences.

Choose your accountant and tax preparer carefully.

A good accountant can help protect your business.
An incompetent one can become one of its biggest liabilities.

Let’s party. 3 corporations 30 bank statements to manually reconcile. When the day ends you head home and keep working. That’s what it means to own your own business.

I won’t lie the color coding is fun. For example repairs and maintenance are in orange and Auto expenses would be in blue. Once done it makes it easier to transfer to Excel and subsequently onto Quickbooks as a journal entry. It’s a bit backwards but we do what we must with what the client provides and deliver on time.

Ever wonder how companies account for big investments where they have a say, but don't call all the shots?

That is where the Equity Method comes in.

It is used when a company owns 20% to 50% of another business.

Here is how it works in 3 simple steps:

The Buy-In 💵You buy 30% of a company for $50k. You list that $50k asset on your balance sheet.

The Profit Boost 📈The company makes $20k in profit. You own 30%, so your investment value shoots up by $6k, and you report $6k in earnings!

The Dividend Drop 💰They pay out $10k in dividends. Your 30% share is $3k cash in hand, which lowers your remaining investment asset value to $53k.

Think of it as a "one-line consolidation" that keeps a company's balance sheet honest about its real economic partners.
