Scot Lemoine is in a runoff for East Baton Rouge Metro Council person for District 11 with Alison Cascio. I do not know either candidate nor I do not have a dog in that fight.
In the September 24 issue of the Advocate there was an article concerning Scot Lemine, that was entilted "Candidate claims bias in police s" ( http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/29512024.html?showAll=y&c=y ) .
Lemoine was issued a misdemeanor summons for simple battery. Apparently he was involved in an altercation with one of his tax client and police were called and the summons was issued.
I never knew that tax preparation is a contact sport. I always thought that it was the IRS who did the beating up not your CPA!
If a business man can not conduct himself in a more professional manner he does not have the temperament for public office and should withdraw from the race.
I fear what he might do when tension are high in the Metro Council meetings. Is he going to assault another person with a pile of papers? Watch out for those wild CPA's.
Scot do the right thing and withdraw. Apparently you can't take the heat.

Friends all nice post I also share with you something. Make sure that the Accountant has previous experience of dealing with contractors. Ask him or her how many contractors he or she has on their books. There is a morass of legislation, like IR35, that is aimed specifically at freelancers and it is crucial that your Accountant is up-to-date with all the legislation. Make sure that the Accountant has previous experience of your sector. If, for example, you are an IT Contractor, it is very useful if the Accountant has good knowledge of the sector. Choose the size of Accountancy firm that suits you. Some people may prefer to go with a large organisation with vast experience of the business but where you may be dealing with someone low down the organisation. Others may prefer a small firm where you are dealing with the owner or partner of the Accountancy company. Meet up with several Accountancy firms and let them know that you are doing this so that you can get the best offer for the best service. Decide beforehand whether you want the Accountant to do all the admin or whether you are happy to do a lot of the book-keeping with the Accountant mainly giving advice and doing your end-of-year returns. Once you have decided yourself what you want to do and what you want the accountant to do you can then ask the price. Ask the Accountant for a full list of services that they can provide as you may not have though of everything.
