Manage episode 482929707 series 3506007
Alicia and Veronica spin their "Wheel of Rants" to discuss essential boundaries accountants and bookkeepers should establish in their practice. From avoiding legal advice to setting proper client communication channels, they share war stories about embezzlement, email scams, and problematic client relationships. The hosts reveal why engagement letters are critical, how proper password management protects everyone involved, and why working for free ultimately undermines the entire industry.
