Q?Do I still need a CPA if I would with your firm?
A. CPA’s are excellent to use when you need Certified Financial Statements. Most business owners do not need Certified Financial Statements any more. This is very rare. Most need reviewed Financial statements which is what we can prepare for you. If you need Certified financial Statements, we have a relationship with a firm that will prepare them from our records for a lot less. If you are looking for tax professionals with demonstrated tax expertise, then Enrolled Agents are the way to go.
