I don’t know for certain, but wouldn’t think so. Plus even if everyone came over EJ owns the book, not you. That seems like a dangerous place to put yourself in with your own money.

OP... you must be new... no Jones doesn’t allow you to buy someone’s book. You’d think one would check into that before offering to buy someone’s book.

Are you leaving EJ then?

Didn’t plan on it.

Does jones not let you?

Lol. Oh boy.

What are the other reasons?

I love McDonald’s. Haha

Please help 🙏 Has anyone done human/employee due diligence before?

How does one does this in practice? What types of questions should I be asking given I don’t have domain expertise in all these areas, and what does an final output/deliverable look like? It’s like 50 people.

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
