My accountant Leslie prepared the last three tax returns I’ve sent to the IRS. Before Leslie it was me—all thumbs, calculator, curses and erasers on hand. I appreciate this man for good reason.

Leslie,

It was a pleasure seeing you yesterday—but then again it usually is. You’re the closet thing to winning the lottery for me. And while my return is smaller this year than in years past, it’s still money in the bank! Three cheers! Thank you for making tax preparation so easy. Best of luck plowing through the remainder of the ‘season.’ See you next year!

Best,

Lauren
