>What would you think of a tax accountant who didn't try to save you money on your taxes (legally)?

It wouldn't be up to the tax accountant to make this type of decision. It would be the CEO going to them and saying, "hey guys, I know you have tried to minimize taxes in your past jobs, but we do things a bit differently here..."

re: downvotes. You gotta understand that tax accountants' job is more than just to minimize taxes.
