there is no such thing as a bad or nuisance client \u2013 although there are clients who\u00a0sometimes do bad or nuisance things. \n \nfollowing is a listing of what makes a good client.<\/p>\n
\nclients who do what they say they will do and who do not delay sending us what we ask for.<\/li>\n clients who do the work organizing their documents before they provide them\u00a0to us.<\/li>\n clients who give us estimated amounts that tell us they are estimates and how they arrived at it and why they cannot provide the actual amounts.<\/li>\n clients who pay their bills promptly.<\/li>\n clients who call the partner to complain about a bill instead of \u201ccomplaining\u201d by sending a note to our \u201cbookkeeping department.\u201d<\/li>\n clients who complain right away to the partner when they are upset with something, and not to a staff person who happens to be at their office at that moment.<\/li>\n clients who make us explain clearly what we tell them to do, and who don\u2019t give the go-ahead without fully understanding what is to be done.<\/li>\n clients who review the work we send them when it is received and who don\u2019t sit on it until eight minutes before it needs to be filed or sent to a bank.<\/li>\n clients who use technology fully.<\/li>\n clients who are not litigious.<\/li>\n clients who understand that taxes need to be paid to maintain our society and that we do not make the rules that cause them to pay taxes.<\/li>\n clients who realize that banks and finance companies need back up and documentation when they lend funds, and that there is a cost to develop that data, and that it is not our \u201cfault\u201d the work is needed.<\/li>\n clients who understand that we sometimes make a mistake, who accept a rational and reasonable explanation and who won\u2019t keep bringing it up months and years later.<\/li>\n clients who occasionally thank us for our efforts on their behalf.<\/li>\n clients who refer potential clients.<\/li>\n clients who are happy with their lives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"16 factors to look for before you decide to take your next new clients<\/b> \nby ed mendlowitz<\/i> \ntax season opportunity guide<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1341,"featured_media":70489,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1363,3120,3002,2246],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-pro-member-exclusive","category-special","category-busy-season"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nwhat makes a good tax season client? - 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间<\/title>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\t \n\t \n\t \n \n \n \n \n \n\t \n\t \n\t \n
