 The Ramsey Show. Our accountant told us we need to make some expensive business purchases as write-offs, and my partner wants to buy a truck for cash. What is the real wise thing to do? Fire your accountant. You make all business decisions on economic values, not on tax law. It saves you $3,000 this year to buy a $50,000 truck. Your accountant is a moron.
