Accounting question

[beeniesmom]

And I can't believe your accountant charges you for questions like either. We've had a couple in the last 5 years & none would even think about charging for something like that.

You'd be surprised! We got a bill this morning for 50 dollars from our registered accountant for a 5 minute phone call about a simple matter.
MIND BLOWING.

In defense of accountants - they have many clients and if each of them call the accountant with "just a little question" soon you can find your whole day is gone - no billable hours. So perhaps this is their way of discouraging too many calls from people.

For me, it just seems like good will to answer their questions and not bill them.

Well, thanks for the replies everyone! I am now more confused than ever and will have hubby check out the state's website --- all these financial things make my mind go numb. I am good at what I do, and for as good as I am at my work, I am equally awful in all things financial.
