Why hire a CPA?
CPAs act as advisors to individuals, businesses, financial institutions, non-profit organizations and government agencies on a wide range of business and financial matters. Whether preparing a simple tax return, helping you plan your financial future, preparing a business plan for your dream business, or conducting an audit of your company, a CPA is equipped with the knowledge and background to help you make the best financial decisions.
CPAs must pass a comprehensive, national, uniform examination covering accounting practices and theory, taxes, commercial law, and auditing among other subjects. As practicing CPAs, they are required to complete 120 hours of continuing education over a three-year period. CPAs are governed by a code of professional conduct and are self-regulated by a peer review process, under the auspices of the American Institute of CPAs.
Working with a CPA
- Before you contact a CPA, be prepared with goals and objectives of what you want the CPA to do for you. Have a list of questions and a clear idea of what you want to accomplish.
- Before you meet with a CPA, gather all the documents and information you may need - past tax returns, financial statements, investment documents, business plans - and take this information with you to the first meeting.
- Keep your CPA up to date on what's happening in your life. Are you getting married or divorced, having children, planning for your child's college education, expanding a business, or giving a business to an heir? You'd be surprised what life situations and events you experience with which your CPA can help you.
