Patricia Perkins

Typical Day on the Job

No two days are ever the same in my job. My first priority, though, is always to help my boss, with whatever he needs. Some days I have a lot of interaction with clients and on other days I am busy with reports.   Every month, I perform bookkeeping work and payroll, but that's not every day. My job duties are very seasonal. When the calendar year starts in January, I'm busy completing December's bookkeeping to prepare quarterly reports, W-2's, and 1099's for the previous year. From then until April, I focus on completing business tax returns by March 15 and individual tax returns by April 15.   I am a people person who enjoys providing a service so I especially enjoy helping clients.

Throughout the rest of the year, I work on extended returns and business returns with fiscal year ends; and in January, April, July, and October, I complete quarterly payroll reports. During the latter part of each year, I help my boss work on audits and other miscellaneous tax work.
