> The good accountants are typically somewhat expensive, but they're generally not charging the highest rates and only a small percentage of somewhat expensive accountants are good. This is an interesting observation that I see a lot of value in. Not everyone is money-driven in the same way, and there's a lot of talent that is willing to turn down additional money or additional work because they are happy enough. They have reached a local maxima, and while there may be other maxima, those are not guaranteed, and going for them could result in overall loss.
