Do I Need An Accountant?
Don't waste time and money if you don't have to.
If you work for an employer, have a mortgage, and some savings accounts, you might just need tax preparation help each year. You can use an accountant or a tax prep company at the mall. But if you are starting or running a business, own investments, pay others to work for you, buy or sell real estate, or are looking for loans to expand a business then you probably need one.
Can't I Do The Work Myself?
​
Are you a business owner? Sure you can. Owners do anything and everything for their business and employees.
...but chances are you should concentrate on what you do best. You should be working on marketing and selling your product. An accountant can save you time by managing the books, analyzing the financials, and help you focus on improving profit margins or simply identify expense savings. A good accountant can be a valued adviser, helps you grow, and knows the health of your business. They don't have an emotional attachment to the product like you but can keep you grounded when emotions might blur decisions.
An Accountant Cost Money, Why Would I Pay For One If I Can Just Get Quickbooks?
​
If you have read this far you probably need to ask how you can't afford an accountant. Hiring an accountant is a business decision - not an expense management debate. Professional accountants, bookkeepers, and tax preparers are certified and have passed fundamental examinations. They know what they are doing and make sure you are doing it right. The cost of a professional can be worth their weight in gold and remove unnecessary anxiety from your business focus.
