From: Richard Kahn To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: Larry Delson Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2012 15:50:46 +0000 Attachments: FTC_DEC_14_2012-1.pdf Attached is additional billing from Larry in the amount of 18,075 for a total annual billing of 112,312 I requested that he send his hours spent for me to review After analyzing hours billed per entity i have the following comments: a) Skip, Lany & Joan are all billing at $250 per hour I believe that we do not need accountants at $250 per hour to prepare simple returns (all returns with exception of JEE personal & FTC) as they should be done by Junior accountants at new firm at rate of $150 or less per hour. This should save you at least $30,000 in 2013 b) Skip spent 244.50 hours billed to JEE - this amount seems very high as your return should take no more than 10-15 hours Not sure what all the other time was spent on.. c) Joan spent 75 hours on Poplar ? this makes no sense and i am concerned it was a Plug on their schedule in order to increase time billed to you Going forward with new firm i would like to receive monthly or quarterly billing statement so we can better monitor time and save you money Please advise if i should politely question billings above that appear unclear or pay bill?
