Good Forex Accountant

[jeffkerwin]

Hi all,

I am looking at becoming a full time trader in the near future as I have been trading successfully on demo for a couple of years now.

I was wondering if anyone knows a good accountant that is familiar with the forex business??????

Any nominations would be greatly appreciated.

Jeff
