Reply #6: Ohio's Worst CPA

[bookworm65t]

My immediate supervisor was a CPA who wanted to take the financial manager job at my agency for "humanitarian" reasons. He told us that he didn't mind going from a salary of $60,000 a yr to $28,000 :silly: :crazy: :wtf:


Turned out he wanted to punish his ex-wife for divorcing him by lowering the child support payments. He was with us one year, and when he left, we discovered that numerous creditors hadn't been paid, charitable contributions were not deposited (cash and staledated checks, and we were being heavily spammed by too-numerous-to-count porn sites (his second activity behind computer backgammon (sp?). Took two months to get everything squared away. Unfortunately it helped cost me my job, since my employment funds were needed to retire debt. It wasn't long after his departure that I found out that he was a suspended CPA, which happened 3 years before we knew him. Recently I checked on his status, and it is still suspended (after 15 years!). Don't know why he wouldn't try to reinstate himself. But I have no use for his egotism and incompetence.

:blush: looking back, I can't believe I bought into his crap and let him get away with it. I should have checked into the CPA claim, that's for sure.

Also, I have also worked briefly at some conservative firms, and those were hell.
