What to tell your accountant? - GoFuckYourself.com

Juicy D. Links · 01-25-2003, 12:46 PM

I got a meeting with a new accountant , i have a mainstream wholesaling business , and my porn stuff flows to that business too. How would you go about saying "Oh BTW i run smut sites" with out actually saying it?

SleazyDream · 01-25-2003, 12:50 PM

I wouldn't skirt the issue, if the accountant has problems with it FIND SOMEONE ELSE.

Many accountants in big firms are actually HAPPY to have an adult site as a client cause it allows them to have a LEGITIMATE EXCUSE to surf porn at the office. Many offices have policies that scan workers computer's for adult material and fire those that spend their days lookign at porn, if you're a client with porn sites they can always say it was work related and not get in trouble.

You don't if you don't want to. I just say "Internet Advertising". I am sure mine knows...but, has never said a word. Strictly business.

WiredGuy · 01-25-2003, 12:53 PM

Two people you should tell no matter what: accountants and lawyers. They are here to help you save/make money, tell them. If they have a problem with it, there's tons of other accountants and lawyers willing to take your business.

agreed. confess EVERYTHING to them.

Dude. I am sure plenty of people are ashamed to tell their *moms* what they do... But why be bothered about your accountant knowing?

Probono · 01-25-2003, 12:57 PM

Part of my screening process for any professional services is to explain what we do and confirm they are comfortable with our business. If they are not move on and find someone who is.

GoLiaT · 01-25-2003, 01:00 PM

hard to not to tell
since you probably have reciepts from bought
adult content etc

My accountant was doing my taxes, before I entered the porn industry. I asked her if she had a problem with it, up front.

That way, if she objected, I could find an accountant who kept morality out of the equation.

My Mom knows. Hell, she works for us.

sweetcuties · 01-25-2003, 01:18 PM

Tell them... my accountant knows everything and it helps

Nasty D · 01-25-2003, 01:22 PM

You need a accountant you can talk straight with!

KC · 01-25-2003, 01:22 PM

yep.. shoot them straight..

My accountant is a church going family man.. but respects the fact that I'm running a profitable business.

Snake Doctor · 01-25-2003, 01:29 PM

Yep, just tell it like it is.
If they don't like it there's tons of CPA's out there willing to take your $$.

Brujah · 01-25-2003, 01:37 PM

Be prepared for the accountant to ask you to teach him how to do it too.

Snake Doctor · 01-25-2003, 02:17 PM

Of course you could use the old bait and switch.

Walk in the office dressed gangsta style, tell him you're a drug dealer and if he doesn't set up money laundering schemes for you that you'll kill his family.

Then tell him you were just kidding and that you peddle porn on the 'net.

Sort of like when I was 16 and came home and said "Mom, Dad, My girlfriend is pregnant" and they said WTF?!?!?!

and I said, just kidding, but I got an F in Algebra

Ray@TastyDollars · 01-25-2003, 02:20 PM

Fuck it, tell him everthing.

How do you know if he's the right account for you? How do you know that hes gonna make you money?

Easy, ask him "whats 2+2", if he answers 4 fire him. If he answers "its what ever you want it to be" give him a raise

Tell him what you do. I use a big firm here in Detroit and the owner was fascinated by my business. Turns out he owns about 10,000 pads in 20 or so trailer parks. Now I'm trying to swing a content deal with him...

WiredGuy · 01-25-2003, 02:49 PM

My accountant loves this business, especially after he saw my books. In fact, he's knocking off some of his billable hours for me to teach his wife what I do. Not a bad deal, show her how to market porn and he gets me accounting services at a reduced rate. Not a bad deal at all.

UncleJimmy · 01-25-2003, 02:54 PM

Be open and honest, accountants generally don't care and are more often very interested....

If they arent' comfortable with what you do find a new one right away!

My last one in Cali got a kick out of some old 'Raw Like Sushi" checks...he thought some of the names were very amusing ;)
