Bye bye PA. Finally (15 years later) pursuing my dream of opening a bakery. The hours will be longer but they will be embraced with love and passion instead of dread and apathy.

EA1 I have 150k for the business as does my partner in the business. I've maxed out my 401k every year since starting in PA. My spouse is still working. Deloitte 1, had to wait until my kids were older and to refine my skills. I've been baking and selling at local farmer's markets and cafes for the last 5 years.

Def over cake. It's not even a debate unless it's ice cream cake, but even then, pie usually wins.

No cake can compare to pie. Pie a la mode is unbeatable. Birthday pie, wedding pie - everyone is delighted by pie; cake only disappoints.

Do you record your unbillable time? I have had conflicting responses. I have been told it's not good for efficiency calculations but others have told me if your still doing work let people know. For example, I get weird international stuff sometimes that not everyone gets (I think maybe? ) and I need to reread the 5471 rules or 8865 rules as I do the returns. I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher
