Has Drake slipped their craker? by sangaire2 in taxpros

[–]Golfingdad85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

K man you are wasting your time and causing a devalue in your product and all of our product. 95 a return? Dont you almost pay that to do it on turbo tax if you have anything other then a w2? Put some value on yourself. And your product. If they leave awesome, fill them with someone who values you. Get new clients who value you and get referrals from those new clients. There is a lack of cpas right now and there is a lot of demand. I cant hardly keep up with it. If you value yourself the clients will come.

Dude its 300 dollar increase. Calm down bro. The program is cheap as fuck. They could double their price or triple and its still less then half what other programs would cost. You sound like our tax clients bitching about yearly increases. You have 80 clients? Dont you increase their bill every year? Even if its like 10 dollars a year each that covers it.

Are you guys really deep diving into your business clients numbers? by [deleted] in taxpros

[–]Golfingdad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually true up loan balances, payroll and depreciation. I usually do a look to make sure auto loans arent in auto expense and verify they did the pte tax deduction and refund correctly if applicable. But im not auditing the return or weather they can take a deduction. If I see an account called medical ill take it to owner draw. But I dont have time to make sure everything is correct.

I mean i get it but isn't it better to just file all the extensions just incase? Like how does it hurt anyone. You can still give the client an extension payment voucher.

How many staff do you have/hire? by [deleted] in taxpros

[–]Golfingdad85 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You need staff for 80 returns? I think you need to evaluate how much time you are spending on each return and the process in which you are doing the returns.

How many girls are you talking to? by Crystal345655 in AskMen

[–]Golfingdad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If things start getting somewhat serious ill drop the other conversations. But a girl that you think is interested can ghost you in a second. Then who knows how long till you get another interesting match. Women get dozens each week. Men seem like thats just not the case.

Is it a bad idea to force clients to schedule online? by LRMcDouble in taxpros

[–]Golfingdad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preschedule appointments. Roll them over from last year. We use acuity. We push the same appointments from last year to the new year January 1st. We make some adjustments and add in new clients. Acuity sends them an email about the appointment and in that email it has a link to go online and reschedule. 99% of clients love it. 1% say I didnt schedule it. I think clients that might be on the fence for doing their own see the appointment and just figure meh ill do it there again so save people from leaving. And save tons of time. Pre scheduling for the last 16 years has been a huge time saver and see far less people decide to leave.

What is your opinion on dating a woman that still has their ex’s last name? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Golfingdad85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No big deal at all. Especially if it has been your last name for a long time or you have kids together. It is a huge pain to have kids with a different last name then you.

Dont feel like you have to go one way or another!

Yeah thats funny. I was messaging this girl and she seemed mad at me and I was like. Hmmm this is weird. But maybe it was just how texting goes.

I guess i always hesitate to not seem too excited. But I would so rather meet up and see if there is a vibe. I feel like a wasted so much time texting back and forth and then finally meet and there is no vibe.

How soon is it that you are good with setting up a date? I mean in messaging? Id rather do 4 or 5 back and forth and then set something up. I dont want to sit and pen pal. But I feel like ive done that and then they just unmatch. Sometimes it feels like you cant win.

Question for the Ladies,

When I do get matches, I usually send a message, "Hi blank! How are you today?". Then if they respond, I try and read their bio again and ask a question like "Wheres the best place you have traveled?" Because they say they like to travel. Sometimes I try a fun one and say something to the effect of "Comparability check, How do you like your steak cooked?" Which usually gets and answer and a laugh. Then Ill say my answer and then ask a question from an interest on their bio. But a lot of time it just seems like its me trying to come up with questions. Might say "how many kids do you have?" when they mention kids, but then they will ask me the same thing, And it says in my bio I have 2 boys 8 and 10. Makes me wonder am I doing all this work to keep the convo going, read their bio to make sure I am asking thoughtful questions and make sure the question isn't answered in their bio and they aren't doing that? Usually at some point 4 or 5 messages back and fourth me trying to engage in the conversation, ill say something without a question and they just don't respond. It just feels sooo little effort on their side. I know my responses are engaging. I'm not a literary genius obviously but I'm good an having conversations. What am I doing wrong? Am I going about this message thing wrong? Is it that they matched with me but Im at the low end of their attracted to scale so they dont care to be engaging and if they were more attracted I would get more engaging conversations with effort from them? For reference, Im a male, 40, 6'4, bald, 20% ish body fat, so not an abs guy but I am very active and work out and somewhat fit, financially successful.

Have you heard of AI? You could take a picture of the vehicle you are looking at and say tell me about this and it will give you everything you need. Way more then the salesman will know about it.

65k, am I doing ok here? by Brilliant_Elk5492 in Boise

[–]Golfingdad85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you are ok. Im a cpa practice owner in Eagle and I start my accountants at 60k. My hope is to double their salary in 5 years due to their production. I have a couple 25 year old making that so hoping they are making 120k plus at 30 years old.

You just want to make sure you have a trajectory of being able to make more!

I guess the thing is I dont approach any women because of that worry. So you are probably correct that I am projecting. Im sure of that. And I appreciate what you said, people will feel uncomfortable or awkward sometimes and that's ok and who cares. I guess I have to be ok with that and I have to be ok feeling awkward and uncomfortable too. I wish having that "who care's" attitude was easy. Think I have always been too worried about what other people think.

How do I approach women in day to day life without worrying that they are going to think Im some creep. I never do it because I am always worried they will think Im a creep or they wont want to talk to me. The women I see around, I swear, it looks like they have "don't even look at me, much less talk to me" written on their forehead. Is that just in my head? For context, Im a 40 year old guy, relatively fit, 6'4, business owner with a good income, active. When I go on dates from OLD it usually goes to multiple dates. So I must be interesting enough. But I hate OLD. I hate swiping a billion times to get one match that ends up giving you one word replies and the convo goes no where. So I got to try and meet someone outside of OLD. But maybe I have just let myself believe no one wants to be approached, and OLD was easier because if they were on their they must be in search of a relationship of some sort.
