The IRS strikes fear in most law-abiding citizens, partly because tax matters are complicated and partly because this agency wields a lot of power.

You don’t have to be an expert in taxes and accounting – that’s what you have an accountant for.

Your CPA can solve many of your financial headaches for you if you reach out to them. Here we’ll explore six questions to ask your accountant during your next meeting or email exchange.

Bookkeeping for your business may inspire the same feelings as keeping a budget for your personal spending. As bothersome as it is to have to record every transaction, accurate bookkeeping is not optional when you’re running a business. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. Your accountant can help you keep the books, and they’ll also help you prepare your financial statements.

Most people seek the assistance of an experienced accountant during tax season. That’s a good thing, because taxes are complicated and there are repercussions for not doing them right. On the one hand, you do not want to give the IRS money they didn’t ask for, but on the other hand, you have to pay what you legally owe. And while you may not give the matter much thought after the April filing deadline has come and gone, it’s a good idea to have an accountant on your side for other reasons, too. For example, you may need help with tax planning, audits, and making payment arrangements with the IRS.

Small business owners often try to save money by doing as much as they can on their own. Generally, bootstrapping is a good idea, especially if you’re just starting out. However, to keep a viable business up and running, you’ll need the assistance of an experienced accountant. Your business finances must be in order for you to keep your company afloat, and you also have to follow several rather tedious reporting requirements.

Tax season is still in full swing. In fact, many people won’t file their tax returns until it gets closer to the deadline, which is April 17th this year. Before you send off your return, it may be a good idea to let your Certified Public Accountant – short CPA – take a look. A CPA is an accountant who has completed a program of study in accounting, gained experience working in the field of public accounting, and passed a vigorous examination. Below you’ll learn why a CPA is the best person to talk to about your taxes.

Hiring a CPA to do your taxes can save you countless hours of pulling your hair out. It also saves you money, because they can help you find deductions and credits you didn’t even know about. We know that tax preparation is complicated – and it’s likely to stay that way. Below are some instances where you should really turn over your taxes to the experts to make sure you’re not paying too much.

Some people dislike bookkeeping just as much as another dreaded B-word: budgeting. While it’s true that keeping up with the finances isn’t fun for everyone, there are a lot of good reasons why business owners must concern themselves with it. The good news is that you don’t have to do the work yourself to gain the benefits of it.

It happens every year; April rolls around and you realize that it’s about time you started on those taxes before you miss the deadline and have to pay a fine. You don’t like filing your taxes or having to slog through them because you think they’re such a chore.

There’s nothing scarier than the thought of being audited by the IRS, except maybe for being chased through the woods by an angry black bear. But while you might be able to lie down and cover your head and convince the bear to go away, the same tactic won’t have much effect on the IRS. So what should you do in the event of an audit? Well that depends on a couple of things.

Everyone knows that when you need your taxes done or some sort of auditing performed on your finances, a Certified Public Accountant is the way to go. After all, CPAs don’t just have a college degree backing up their expertise; they’ve also passed a strenuous and rigorous exam and sworn to uphold a code of ethics. However, there are also a variety of other services besides tax preparation and auditing that a CPA can assist you with.

Managing business accounts and books often requires a level of expertise and time investment that small business owners simply cannot afford to develop and maintain. While the ideal solution is often to hire a bookkeeper, a full-time employee doesn't fit into the budgets of many micro businesses, and it shouldn't have to.

April 18th was tax day, 2017 and the deadline for filing your taxes. If you're owed a refund, missing this deadline isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if you owe the IRS, not filing on time could result in heavy penalties and fees.

Accounts payable is one of the most important elements of your business, but it can be stressful and difficult, especially for newer business owners. Sending and receiving invoices is a process that takes time to get used to, especially if you've transitioned from traditional employment.
