Is your accountant certified?

If your accountant isn't a Certified Public Accountant, think twice about where you are getting your advice. Whom do you want handling your financial and business matters?

If your accountant isn't a CPA, it's time to seek professional help.

 

"Our research over the years has shown that small business owners rely heavily on their outside accountant for ideas and advice, and see the accounting profession as highly responsive to the needs of smaller firms."
