Translate Your Accountant's Year End Letter Into a Checklist You Can Use
The year end letter arrives full of figures and deadlines and somehow still manages to say nothing plainly. This translates what your accountant is actually asking for, explains the numbers mentioned in ordinary terms, and turns the whole thing into a short checklist with the most urgent items first.
