I am 78 & have been doing accounting/bookkeeping since I was 17==61 years. I have been self-employed since 1980. I have 2 clients left-—one for over 48 years & one for over 44 years.
I couldn’t even BEGIN to COUNT the number of CONVERSATIONS I have had with MANY, MANY people about their books—payroll —tax payments—deadlines—ANYTHING.
Imagine the feds seizing all your records and telling you they’ll know what they’re looking for when they see it, but there going to let your gossipy neighbor review it all.
