Robin's Ruminations

WSPSA member Randy Bennett reports his company, Seattle Legal Messengers, was recently audited by Employment Security and passed it with flying colors.  Randy uses the employee business model and, by all appearances, seems to be doing well with it.

Randy emphasized one important point over and over - Don't let the auditor come into your office.  Apparently there is no requirement that you let them through your door.  Instead, let them know you'll meet with them at a neutral location and you will bring everything they want to see to that meeting.  Randy's office is in Seattle but his CPA is in Mount Vernon so he proposed to use the CPA's office as the meeting place.  The auditor agreed and the meeting went off without a hitch.
