How Farid runs a file
Farid starts every business file with the same question: are this quarter's deposits being made? Nothing else gets settled until they are.
He builds a quarter-by-quarter table from the IRS transcripts and the payroll reports, and sends it to the client before any call with the agency, so everyone argues from the same numbers.
On estate returns he works with the family's appraiser and estate lawyer, and keeps the executor told about every date that matters.
