-: Scott Fawcett, I'm principle at the accounting firm
of Fiorita Kornhass & Company.
Why I think it's two-fold.
One, obviously you have to understand the concepts.
Both from a financial perspective
and a tax perspective.
The other is the ability to communicate that.
Again the clients ask a lot of questions.
And you have to be very effective
at communicating that to them,
whether it be a phone call, in person
or email because again you gotta...
And you have to explain to them at a level
that they can understand.
So that we've had some people come to our office
over the years that talked at a level
that was, where you knew
the client couldn't understand them.
So that's the, you have to make the assumption of
do they know, how much do they understand and know,
so you can teach them without being condescending.
Fine line between it.
