Thanks, but he dosent own the software - I do. The CPA paid for some courses that I took to get various licenses and then wanted a discount off my bill. Even though I never asked for these courses.

Thanks. I am fine paying him something but 30% is excessive and my dumb fault for not reading more thoroughly. He's definately in breach of contract by not paying the bill. However, the contract states that non-compete exists for a year after termination (no matter the reason for termination - like his breach).

There is a non-solicit clause as well but I have not solicited anyone and don't intend to. The client fired the CPA and then came to me. We haven't signed any contract yet.
