But there’s a good chance your accountant, who should be your most trusted advisor, isn’t helping you one bit.

I get angry over what business owners put up with from their accountant.

I get angry when accountants—the most influential person in a business owner’s life—abuse the position.
I get angry when accountants don’t give business owners the value they truly deserve. Especially when accountants are supposed to be a business owner’s trusted adviser and the most influential person in a business owner’s life.
