Partner stealing
Posted by: maw0706

I work for 2 partners as the bookkeeper and one partner is always paying subs for work at his home and other business from the account and having me code to other jobs. the other partner knows to an extent because it happened before with another bookkeeper. I am in the middle. partner one asks what partner 2 spends, partner 2 asks if i told partner 1. I am looking for a new job but in the meantime does anyone have any advice

There was a previous bookkeeper that probably felt as uncomfortable as you, and left the job. The 'partners' have chosen not to communicate with each other and have elected you as their go-between. Maybe you feel compelled to be loyal to both of them, because obviously you work for both of them. The partner that is paying subs for work at home, and another business, who expects you to code those jobs 'differently', is not only stealing from the other partner, but is also putting YOU in a position of commiting FRAUD. In the event the partners - part ways, or, if the business is ever tax audited, YOU will have some explaining to do with State and Federal tax officers. The partner might even claim he/she had no knowledge of it. I would resign immediately, stating EXACTLY why, in detail - and in writing. Keep a copy of your resignation. Even after you leave, if any of the above happens, you will still be accountable for your part in agreeing to follow the sleezy partners directives. Sorry, but you're into something way too deep to continue working for these people. On a positive note, your DETAILED letter of resignation might save you from any more grief down the line. Good Luck! |
