CPA Tax Musings: How to Know When Your CPA Isn’t Really Working For You

This tax musing discusses the question if your CPA is working hard for you.  If so the fees you pay are worth it.  See this post by Nancy Anderson in Financial Finesse:http://www.forbes.com/sites/financialfinesse/2012/11/08/red-flags-how-to-know-when-your-cpa-isnt-really-working-for-you/Just remember that I offer a free initial consultation and try to set up a fixed fee for each project I work on for you (so there are not surprises).  I also offer a 10% discount (up to $50) on any new work I do for clients.  I also never charge for phone calls and email (I want you to talk to me during the year so if things in your business or life change we can do something about it – if you tell me next year it may be too late!)  Okay, enough of my shameless plug!
