A potential client inquired about my service for filing S corp returns.
He started running a pharmacy last year and "everything" is done through his POS system. Besides that, he has bank accounts and rent payment for the store.
He asked for a price quote.
I told him that we needed to set up his books and records because information is now in different pockets.
I asked him to generate the following reports from his POS system:
a. General Ledger (YTD);
b. Sales (taxable & nontaxble) YTD;
e. Income Statement YTD.
My approach will be taking those reports and combine with the info from checking accounts to create his books and records.
He refused to give me the general ledger until I give him the price quote. Should I just give him the bookkeeping rate and tax prep hourly rate.
