I have been asked for a copy of the journal entry and I stated it was for the state not the company. I won’t do zoom calls as I am usually in a remote area. Scans may not be able to be done at the table as I may not have internet. I make myself very clear on what is appropriate and not, along with ethical boundries on what they are allowed to have and have not.
As others have stated, we can go by notarization print fee, travel fee, and I put on the mileage, mine can go up to $400 easy per signing. I also carry high E&O as I am also an Accountant, they try and push the limit.
I also agree with another person stating we are IC not Employees, if they want an employee, then they should employ one in each county in each state to make it easier on them. See what that will cost them as I do payroll and I know what it will cost.
I understand they are trying to keep the mistakes down, but don’t get newbies, get those with experience and see if you can get those experienced people to mentor the newbies. Newbies should pay the experienced ones to teach them how to properly do it, and then they wouldn’t have issues.
I perfer working with the title companies directly, a lot less mess.
