Hiring an Accountant: the Basics

Published: July 19, 2012

Finding the right accountant for your company can be a difficult task, but the best Sacramento CPA firms have websites you can use to compare them. You’ll be able to see what they specialize in, check out their references and find their contact information. Make sure you make an inventory of all the accounting needs you have, from taxes to auditing, so you can present it to them and make their job of giving you an estimate for services rendered easier. Meet with your accountant to get a feel for their personality, whether you trust them and how confident they are in their own abilities. Choosing someone to represent your financial interests through accounting is a huge step, so don’t take it lightly. It’s your responsibility to find the best candidate for the job to protect your company from any problems down the road. Don’t just choose and Tom, Dick or Harry!
