Very confident that it will be a long time before the records are put together for the audit and the financials completed for the audit. From there I would add 2-3 months of going back and forth between the cpa and the company to sort through all the data. It is a very long process especially the first audits of multiple years. Most CPA's will tell you that and they always take longer than planned. Thats reality.
Based on your posts, you're a pretty reasonable guy. Will you commit to a deadline for the AF's to be completed? What will you do if they are NOT released by that deadline?
