A business tax accountant! Imagine you have a heap of important papers, including legal ones that, if not handled correctly, could get you in a lot of trouble. Now imagine there is someone waiting on the other end of the phone, sitting upright and waiting to help you with all your business worries. Do you call? Of course, you call. That’s what this kind of accountant can do for you.
A business tax accountant is well versed in tax law—P.S. it changes all the time—policy changes, forms, filing deadlines, exemptions, deductions and all the stuff you don’t want to fill your head with. They are well trained and the really good ones not only have a passion for numbers—who knew?—but also for making sure you succeed no matter what stage of business you’re in.
You might have Marge, your mother’s best friend’s aunt, who does your tax each year. But she has to put her new grandkids first, so she hasn’t had time to read up on all the changing regulations, figure out what forms to use this year and won’t be able to file on time. You can’t be solely reliant on Marge—hire a professional.
