Tax season is upon us, which means it's time to tackle a dilemma every bookkeeper will likely come across eventually: how to work with CPAs who, let's be honest, kind of treat you like you're dumb. It's just true. There's not really a nicer way to say it. CPAs think bookkeepers are dumb…and that's actually GOOD news for you. You know why? Because you're a GOOD bookkeeper. There are a lot of bad bookkeepers out there, and most CPAs have been burned before. So if you can get in there and prove that you do good work…you're going to end up with a very impressed CPA. And trust me, you want an impressed CPA in your corner.   EPISODE RESOURCES: Need to boost your bookkeeping basics—and want to get in on the goodness before the price goes up?
