When DO you get the most bang for the buck at a CPA office?

admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:17:59 +0000

Ann Andrews, CPA of Bargsley, Andrews and Steinbach, CPAs, LLC, gave us some very good advice in her talk today, at NWABC. She has encapsulated it for us here:

Question: When do you get the most bang for the buck at a CPA office?

Answer: When you call your CPA before you make a financial decision.

Examples:

Choose the business entity (proprietorship, corporation, LLC) that best fits the ownership and business strategy. Some kinds require more tax return preparation, and therefore, more fees, than other types. Allow us to discuss the options before you and your attorney make the final decision.
Before you finalize your divorce agreement, discuss with your attorney and your CPA the way that tax return information and liability will be handled in the year of divorce.
Classify workers correctly. Follow the IRS guidelines when engaging contract workers and employees.
Call your CPA when you need a referral to other business services, such as attorneys in various specialties, professional bookkeepers, insurance, marketing, senior services.
Contact your CPA in years of unusually low income. The CPA may have good ideas to help you receive income or reposition assets with little or no tax cost.
Allow your CPA to help you work out financial and tax strategies related to aging parents, wealth transfer, college students, exercise of employer stock options, gifts, sale of residence, and more!

Ann Andrews, CPA will be our member speaker February 1.

This is a perfect opportunity to re-gift something to nice to toss, but… With the eclectic group of talented people we have in NWABC, this promises to be very intersting meeting. Come join us!

We will have a change of guard, when the new officers will be “installed” at this, our final Business Meeting of the year (a brief one). Of course, that also means it is the meeting when we have the monthly door prize drawing… Janice McCourt has donated a beautiful, jolly santa cookie jar as the door prize.
