Tips from Friday,
April 3, 2009
The Small Business tips today will help you to find the right
tax preparer for your specific needs.
- Ask
for referrals. Word of mouth marketing works on all fronts. Good service
gets good referrals.
- If you
choose to go w/ a big-box tax preparer (like H&R Block) ask to meet w/
a CPA. You'll pay the same but get real experience.
- Local
and independent tax firms often specialize in needs of the small
businesses in their area. Complex issues? Try CPA or EA.
- Don't
be afraid to shop around or leave the accountant you hired if you're not
comfortable.
Daily Overview: Ask other businesses who prepares their
taxes, try for good local experience. Always, find the right fit for YOU.
