Knows every single rule and is always ethical. I sleep great at night b) Hey I have a cousin Jen. Great accountant. She found all kinds of crazy savings, saved me $1000 last year. People know in their heart they should go for the honest guy. But hey, saving money.. who can pass that up?

Businesses. People who understand the risk, etc.

Knowingly and intentionally not paying a tax by falsifying records probably does not sit well with the Internal Revenue Service.

IRS can and has disbarred CPAs based on ethics [1].
