You also need to consider the tax savings themselves if the umbrella |
13 |
is 501c3. That is also a percentage of the net (the CPA costs being |
14 |

You also need to consider services that we would receive that we |
17 |
currently lack. After all, Gentoo hasn't spent a dime on CPAs for a |
18 |
long time, but that was hardly a true savings. |
