It would be funny if Jeff turned libertarian after going through all the costs and taxes and runnings of a formal business setup.

ITA. It was not apparent and I had no idea.

+1.

Something more specific, like "ISO accountant and attorney for small business".


I'll change the topic on this thread and see if that works.

I would recommend you email a former neighbor of mine, Micah Salb. He's a family lawyer but is great at recommending other lawyers and accountants. He is also a parent and I know he's familiar with DC Urban Mom--I'm pretty sure he used to actively post on the listserv.

Good luck!


His office is really disorganized, and I wouldn't recommend using his firm. Nice guy, though.

Okay. Good advice. I'll probably repost in a day or two. You would think I would know how to use a forum by now.

No way! That would destroy the DCUM mystique.

Thanks. But, we are actually in DC. Arlington, obviously, is not that far.

I realize you're in MD I think, but if you're willing to travel, try Art Lander, CPA in Arlington.

Arthur Lander CPA
3130 N. 10th St.
Arlington, Va. 22201
703-486-0700

Realize, of course, this is the busy season for accountants so it might be a bit harder to get an appointment for things unrelated to meeting the April 15 filing deadline.

Yes, I fully expect an ongoing relationship with the accountant. I also expected I would need that with the lawyer, though some posts here suggest otherwise. I am definitely not looking for freebies. We have plenty of money. I just want to spend it wisely and legally.
