I actually get a form at tax time that highlights her fees for the CPA. Its always been way less than my earnings. (6 Years Now)
Oh no. Seriously!? Her fees are less than your earnings?! In THIS market over the longest bull market since WWII? I certainly hope so!
I hope she's hot. And you meet with her in person regularly. Because that's the only way she's worth it. I put about a million in an no-load minuscule fee S&P index fund in 2011 and it has returned about 110% since then with practically no fees at all. To me, that's way hotter than even the hottest investment adviser. @:-)
