Finance, bookkeeping, tax: possibly the least sexy areas of activism ever. Yet every legal collective has to do them. How many collectives never form because the barrier was too high? How much dynamism is smothered by the conservativism of compliance?

Big companies just outsource all of this: the smaller and less profitable, the more you're affected. (I.e. it's regressive)
