Basically, do you just phone around? What do you bring in to your consultations?
I don't keep any paper records of financial transactions because everything I do is online. How do you deal with this?
Note: All I know about accountants I know from reading "Cathy"...

oh criminy kiddo! you are in microsoftland and obviously doing ok as a contractor. you ABSOLUTELY need an accountant!!!
true story;
our original accountant did a "Willie Nelson" number on us and we were completely in the dark until "NO PAY DUE" was on the pay checks. the woman we use got us out of that hot water and has kept us sane. that's with me working literally all over the country (and occasionally out of the country) along with previous issues. she does the FILs taxes, he's an expat, ours, my folks, and many other friends and family. she goes the extra 20 miles and has taken numerous IRS tax courses and can actually catch them at their own game. if you're interested, PM me!
