We know the drill: (1) Insert the client’s net income, as declared, on their financial statement; (2) Receive the predictable initial disclosure requests; (3) Chase client for documents; (4) Argue about further disclosure requests; (5) Chase client for further documents; (6) Face the predictable claims to for imputing, costs and striking claims over “failing to provide adequate disclosure”; (7) Settle on an imputed income the client will have trouble getting out of when really needed; (8) Repeat for the next client.
Is there is another way? Yes, really.
Take an hour to learn from the case law how to:
- Understand what we are (repeatedly) doing wrong
- Interview a self-employed client
- Thoughtfully formulate the presentation of their information on their financial statement
- Finally get ahead of the disclosure requests
