There are many ways people can find themselves in hot water with the Internal Revenue Service or any number of financial institutions. With tax time rapidly approaching, the following list can help identify the ways a certified public accountant might be able to provide some assistance.
Preparing the Client’s Taxes
With any professional CPA, whether affiliated with the United CPA Association or not, a primary task will likely be fairly typical tax preparation. Before a question or concern becomes an actual tax emergency, make sure the right expert is taking a look at the forms and figures involved.
Providing the Right Consultation
Personal and business finances can be the source of stress and confusion. Finding the right CPA to talk to can provide almost anyone with some much-needed peace of mind no matter what decision he or she faces.
Acting as a Representative
Most
typical tax professionals cannot represent a client in communications with the
IRS. With a properly trained and certified CPA, however, the partnership is
closer and federal officials can rely on the word of that representative
instead of hearing directly from the taxpayer.
A CPA is specifically designated as the source of various finance-related
services. No matter what life has in store, there are likely more than a few
scenarios that could use the input of such an expert.
