The Secret Reason CPAs Take So Long to File Their Own Taxes

You need change…so do I.

That’s why in this post I decided to try my hand at a bit of poetry to answer the question “why do CPAs take so long to file their own taxes?”

Good question but I have to warn you the answer won’t be what you think. There’s no secret hidden tax benefit which only the CPAs qualify to receive. As awesome as that would be, no such luck for us noble number crunchers. The secret answer is actually much simpler than that.

I know you’re thinking right now this secret would be nice to have but you REALLY only kept reading for the poetry, and I’m not one to let the people down, so here you go.

Late CPA

What do you think? Does this apply to you or someone you know? Do I have a shot at another career? Let me know in the comments!
