Me: your employees aren’t providing me with the support I’ve been requesting
Client: I’m having the same problem
--
Me: we haven’t received your reconciliation yet
Client: yeah, you’re not going to
--
Me: So, you own these three vendors?
CEO: yeah, but it’s unrelated to our business
--
Me: can you please provide support for the accrual?
Client: sure! *sends General Ledger dump*
--
Me: so, how do you value your inventory?
CFO: hahahhahaha
--
Me: How’d you come up with this accrual amount?
Client: that’s a WAG - Wild Ass Guess
--
“*looking at a transaction that was recorded improperly*
Me: so why did you record it this way
CFO: well that’s the way we’ve always done it and I’m not changing it because my staff will get confused
--
Me: Please can I have support for that journal entry?
Client: sure! *prints off the journal entry and hands it to me*
--
And, in the same vein:
After waiting 5 months for the client to respond to data requests, client then replies in a hundred emails in one day and says:
“We’re looking for quick turnaround on this. End of the week preferably.”
