Thanks for the feedback.

I guess I may have to take advice from another CPA.

I would also have to change my bank. JPMorganChase is a big bank and
does not care for small bussines customers. We import sporting goods
from asia and sell locally. I am looking for a bank which has import
document collection services as well credit card processing. Any
experiences or recommendations?
