I gave up auditing, and even basic Mom/Pop financial statements for the State Contractor's Board when peer review came into being.  I could see the writing on the wall.  My big beef with tax prep is the evolving trend of making "us" the front line enforcer of (mainly) the social engineering components that tax prep has become.  I work for my clients, not for the IRS.... so the increasing due diligence needed for EIC etc bugs me. 

I love my clients (99%)... one popped in yesterday with two candied apples he had made 🙂
