FINDING AN ACCOUNTANT

In addition to an attorney, most small businesses will need the services of a competent accountant to aid with tax planning, the filing of periodic reports, and annual tax returns. Finding an ccountant with whom your business is compatible is similar to finding an attorney. You should ask around and learn which accountants are servicing businesses similar to yours. State professional accounting associations may also provide a referral service or point you to a directory of accountants in your area. You should interview prospective accountants to determine whether you feel you can work with them and whether you feel their skills will be compatible with your business needs.
