Big middle finger to my tax clients that lag in getting us information, spread it out in multiple emails, and have financials and reports that don't tie to a damn thing 🖕

Doesn't always work, but I've offered these trouble clients discounts on the fee quote if they get the info in to us (the info they can control, like deductions, 1099's that are out in February, etc, as opposed to K-1's that we don't prepare) by a certain date.

Would really love suggestions on how to deal with them in the future... Anyone?

Yeah, the best way I've found so far to deal with is to work with them back and forth (this schedule doesn't tie, can you fix it and give it back to me?) and hope next year they learn. Also the extra bill for "accounting services" or "out of scope" for an exclamation point to the problem. Middle market woes, big 4 would either send big bill or fire the client.😕

Advice on moving to client side?

If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.
