LOL, yeh I know one guy here who is known as an accountant and has no degree. In his younger days, for years, moonlighted with tax returns. Think he still might do a few of some well healed clients.Actually has a pretty good reputation. On the board of a credit union. Before retirement was with a pretty good sized corporation for years empolyed as a supervisory accountant.
So, see your point, if you haven't been there, may not know how to go about organizing there.
