Disclosure History
GARRY Wayne DUCKWORTH has 1 Disclosure Event(s).
Date: February 25, 2010 Category: Financial Type: Bankruptcy Disposition: Discharged Broker Comment: THE PRIMARY CAUSE LEADING TO MY PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY WAS GROWING PAINS IN OPERATING MY CURRENT CPA PRACTICE WHICH I PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER 2006. FOR THE TAX FILING SEASON JANUARY - APRIL 2007 I EMPLOYED AS SEASONAL PREPARERS THE TWO GENTLEMEN WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED AND OPERATED THE FIRM. I ALSO CONTINUED TO OPERATE IN AN OLD HOUSE WHICH BELONGED TO ONE OF PRIOR OWNERS. IN DECEMBER 2007 I MOVED INTO A MORE SUITABLE, BUT MORE EXPENSIVE OFFICE BUILDING. FOR THE TAX FILING SEASON JANUARY - APRIL 2008 NEITHER OF THE PRIOR OWNERS WAS AVAILABLE, SO I HIRED UNKNOWN SEASONAL PREPARERS. I FAILED THAT SEASON TO FIND MOTIVATED, SELF STARTERS. THE PREPARERS WERE GENERALLY EITHER INCOMPETENT OR TOO SLOW. INSTEAD OF MAKING MOST OF MY ANNUAL PROFIT DURING THE TAX FILING SEASON I BORROWED MONEY TO PAY BILLS, ESPECIALLY PAYROLL. THESE ISSUES, PLUS ROUNDS OF STAFF SICKNESSES, CAUSED PROCESSING TIME TO LENGTHEN TO UNACCEPTABLE LEVELS. CONSEQUENTLY A SUBSTANTIAL MINORITY OF MY CLIENTELE DID NOT RETURN FOR THE FILING SEASON JANUARY - APRIL 2009. I CONTINUED TO BORROW INTO 2009 AS THE PRACTICE STABILIZED. BEGINNING IN 2009 I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND COMPETENT TAX PREPARERS WHO WORK AT AN ACCEPTABLE PACE. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CUT OVERHEAD EXPENSES WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY. DURING 2010 AND 2011 I MADE REASONABLE PROFITS. GROSS RECEIPTS SO FAR IN 2012 ARE AHEAD OF ANY OF THE LAST THREE YEARS.
