Kevin has been doing my taxes for about 25 years. Never a disappointment. Thanks to Kevin, I am getting a refund from 2015 because I forget to send him information needed. He compared information from 2016 with 2015. Called me. Problem found and he fixed it after needed info was sent. He is awesome. More...

Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
One aspect of running a small business that few people give a lot of thought to is the way their relationship with their accountant. Many entrepreneurs just dive right into their businesses without giving a second thought to how their relationship should be treated, what your accountant can do for you and what they in turn look for in clients. With a little thought and effort, you can ensure that you get the most from your relationship.
The main thing to remember is that you need a personal relationship with your accountant. Your accountant has the ability-sometimes direct, sometimes indirect-to drastically influence the success of your business. Your goal should be to develop a long-term, personal relationship with him or her. If you do that, when you hit a bump in the road, your accountant will be there to help you get over it.
That being said, here are a few examples of services your accountant should provide:
Help you decide what type of entity (such as S-Corp or LLC) and ownership structure to have when you first get started. Explaining the tax advantages of each entity.
Design and set up your accounting system so that year-end financial reporting will be easier.
- Ensure that you pay the correct types of taxes in the correct amounts.
- Ensure that you send out W2 and 1099 forms to the proper people at the proper times, and also make sure that if you send out 1099s, the IRS will
agree with you that those individuals are independent contractors and not employees. This is a common mistake that can cost you a lot of money
and stress.
- Advise you on deductions and how to separate your personal and business expenses.
- Advise and guide you through an audit if you ever have one.
- Advise you on specific transactions, such as whether it's better to lease or buy.
- Compile your financial records for the past period.
- Help you understand your financial statements. You should use your accountant's expertise to help you analyze your financial statements so you
can understand what he or she is telling you. If you neglect to do this, you won't know as much as you should about how your company is doing.
You will also need your accountant when you have questions about what kinds of business expenses are deductible. Most of these rules and regulations are moving targets-they change frequently and can vary from state to state. A good accountant will always be on top of the changing laws and regulations and, more importantly, will know what applies to you.
It's very important to ask your accountant's advice before you take action. It's always easier and usually cheaper to structure things properly upfront, as opposed to trying to fix something later.
