This is where we get down to the price.
I’ve worked at different accounting firms, so believe me when I say that larger accounting firms tend to add lots of time to their files through inefficiencies.
The Journey of a File
Usually a junior is responsible to complete your file. The senior reviews the file. The file then goes to the manager for review. The manager reviews the file and gives it back to the senior, who takes a look and gives it back to the junior to fix. The file then goes back to the senior who gives it back to the manager. Once the manager has cleared all his/her queries, it finally goes to the partner. YOU GET THE POINT! Bigger firms are great. They are filled with very seasoned professionals, but there are costs involved in having a “team” prepare your file. Generally, YOU END UP PAYING WAY TOO MUCH!
I bypass this journey. I am hands on with all my clients. I am able to answer questions about your file without having to double check the answers with anyone. You deal with me.
