My mother is an accountant. She was a CPA while I was growing up, but moved into project management about 20 years ago. I grew up helping during tax season, learned enough to keep up with doing my own, and I keep ours simple. I take a refresher class every few years.

My grandmother's tax guy retired (and I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that the cultural differences between me, a Western states liberal academic, and professionals in her former residence -- Midwestern -- is just never going to work.)
