    An accountant is phase two.

    Doing my little business accounts from sheets filled in by sister whose bookkeeping is diabolical. Dates are often mistyped, apparently we had lots of purchases last year by King Harold, a few by the ancient Britons and some others by people who have apparently travelled back in time to buy our stuff. More importantly, there are many expenses and some orders that she has not logged or put a wrong value for, I have to go all through the bank accounts and shopping cart emails and correct or add in the ones she has missed.

    Contractors affairs are a lot simpler but even so, I wonder if some newbies grasp that, unless your bookkeeping is up to scratch and you check that what you send them adds up, even the best accountant probably won't get your accounts right.

    Accountants can fix it, they just call them shoe box accounts

    It wasn't unusual for small businesses when I was working as an accountant
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
