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 |
deductible most likely). |

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. |
