Memorandum #1

Sheri is an attorney who operates as a sole practitioner. Despite her busy schedule, in the past Sheri found time for her family. This year Sheri took on two new important clients, and she hired a personal assistant to help her manage her schedule and make timely court filings. Occasionally, Sheri asked her assistant to assist her with her personal tasks such as having her car serviced or buying groceries. Do you think that Sheri should treat her assistants entire salary as a business expense? Would your answer be any different if personal assistants were to commonly perform these tasks for other busy professionals, such as corporate executives and accountants? Discuss what you think Sheri should do.
