Smaller Clients

There are good and bad things about working for a small CPA firm. A combination of the two includes small clients. Here are the list of pros and cons for smaller client audits:

PROS
  • They never take more than 3-4 days
  • They are always really friendly
  • The systems are very simple to use
  • Never work past 6 pm
  • Some don't require actual field work
CONS
  • Incredibly weak internal controls
  • They never know much about accounting... so asking for something simple like an AP list to be generated is ridiculous
  • We stay in small small rooms and most of my work has to be done on my lap
  • We cannot bill them the appropriate hours, because they lack the financial resources to pay us
  • Some do not have AC or Heaters...
