When a business is in the startup phase, an accountant can:
Advise on what type of company to form (such as an LLC, C corporation or S corporation)
Guide the financial section of your business plan

When a business is operational, an accountant:

Finds cost savings with vendors, employees and office operations
Manages tax preparation, including all forms for employees and contractors, payroll tax withholdings and financial reports
Oversees payroll
Plans for changes in business expenses to ensure that additional costs do not cause financial hardship
Can design a financial safety net in case of a catastrophic event such as the death or disability of one of the business owners

Advises on how to handle financial growth by providing financial reports and insights on opportunity
Safeguards your small business against audit or helps work through the process if the company is audited by the IRS
Helps with planning expansion, opening new locations or even selling the business

What inspired you to start your own business?
I had been employed for few years till one day I realised that the only thing I was doing was actually building others' dreams. I had a steady fixed income each month, that's great when you start a career, but I'm a dreamer and a visionary myself and I always knew I was destined for something great. I halted for a second to understand how the world works and it was time for reversing the equation. In the Real World you either be an entrepreneur, or you work for one. On that day I decided to wear multiple of hats till I let the world build my own dream.
My secrete recipe of success: All what I need is discipline, keep daydreaming, thinking outside the box and reading between the lines.
