Every year I take my business tax paper work in to be done by my accountant. Three weeks later I come in to sign after many calls to answer questions and faxes. Its is usually as thick as a 400 page novel and costs me around $750 to file.

Do you think the guy who runs any service provider in any industry actually does the work? How about the guy who runs a hospital? Does he do surgery?

Taxes and administration are two very different, very complex things and competence in one doesn't demand competence in the other.
