Choosing an accountant

My guy and I have been interviewing accountants. We’re launching a company and want the best accountants possible to help us structure and secure the business.

We met with one candidate—a shit hot firm, with a great reputation and client list. They’re good… They are experts at IP, and their advice was rock solid. Right in the middle of the partner winning us over with his brilliance and expertise… he drew two stick figures. He was explaining how to structure the company so as no one can touch us. For clarity, he sketched us in the centre of his notes. He drew my guy… tall and stick-figure-like. Then on the second stick figure… the female stick figure… MY STICK FIGURE… he drew tits.

Yes, the accountant drew boobs on my stick figure.

I blinked a couple of times, but the boobs were still there. I looked up at my partner… who was also blinking. We locked eyes… and tried not to laugh.

Many women at this point would take their business elsewhere. But I’m not like most women. He admired my breasts… and that’s okay, because I admired his balls. And truth be told, I’m after someone who will keep an eye on my assets… which makes this bastard the best accountant for the job.

I suppose a stick figure skirt a la a woman's restroom would've been more PC... But I've never known you to get hung up on stuff like that.

The boobs make for a better tale... and it's all about the tale.
