That is not correct.

I'm setting up appointments with accountants that work at some of the best firms in my medium sized towns. One is representing my condo association that we pay money to and he's telling me the wrong thing, so I can't tell my management company they need to modify their in-house bookkeeping accounting practices. It took multiple emails and phone calls to just arrange to discuss this one issue. This accountant and the bookkeeper are paid by our association dues, and I'm trying to address what I feel isn't a correct accounting practice.

The other accountant I spoke with was a paid consultation. My original response here was a request for a paid consultation. Good help is just hard to find in any profession imo- doctors, attorney, etc.
