How to find the right
TAX ADVISOR.
Finding the right Tax Advisor is important for you and your financial future. Simply finding a qualified Tax Advisor isn’t enough, you need one who not only understands your needs but also one that can devote time and thought to you and your situation.
The following 5 points should be considered when finding a Tax Advisor that will work well with you:
1. Define Your Needs – There are a plethora of services a Certified Public Accountant can provide. They can range from simple tax returns, past due returns, and year-end adjustments to Estate Planning, Divorce Settlement, Fraud Prevention, Bookkeeping and Financial Statement Reports to name a few. First, you need to know which services you are in need of and what those services will do for you. If you are unsure of exactly what your needs are, the next 4 points are going to carry a lot of weight in your decision. Most CPAs will offer a free consultation to help you better identify what you need and will clearly explain the benefits of any services in question. As time goes on, you will realize that a CPA can do a lot more for you than you realized. The more they take off your plate, the more time you will have to focus on what you do best.
2. Get Referrals – Keeping in mind that everyone’s needs are unique, its best to get referrals from friends, associates, and other professionals whose circumstances are similar to your own.
3. Ask Questions – Once you’ve been referred to a CPA who appears to meet your needs, ask plenty of questions. Ask questions on issues that are important to you and your situation. You are about to enter into a very vital business relationship and need to be sure the CPA will be around to fulfill everything they says they can. Feel free to ask about their education, experience, specialties, business philosophies, and even examples of how they have assisted others with similar circumstances to yours.
4. Evaluate Communication & Comfort – Perhaps the most important thing on the list is your level of comfort with the provider you choose. Are your questions being thoughtfully considered and answered to satisfaction? Are they able to explain things in a manner that you can understand? If you feel nervous asking a question or don’t feel like the CPA has given you the attention you deserve, then you aren’t going to get much out of the relationship. As time rolls on, you will have questions or need additional financial advice; you shouldn’t ever feel hesitant to call. You need to be able to communicate your concerns and feel like you are being looked after. Realize you don’t share your financial situation with too many people outside your family; a CPA needs to be a truly Trusted Advisor.
5. Forget Location – While it is nice to have a friend next door, remember that a good CPA is only a phone call away. Whether they’re in the next city or across the country, finding a CPA that you are comfortable working with and has good communication skills is far more important than their location.
