Why Pay for an Accountant When No Legal Duty of Loyalty?
That first page called ‘Notice to Reader’ that comes with your accounting stuff would be better named “Don’t look at me if you get sued for your numbers” because even if you pay an accountant and they screw it up, that page washes away all their liability. One day last year, I found myself stuck in a Canada Revenue Agency…
