the Price of Business Accounting Services

This was for the entire preparation of our taxes for the 2006 busines year. It included yearly payroll tax information, sales tax information, federal tax returns, state tax returns, employee personal tax returns, year end balance sheets, inventory forms, and other necessary paperwork. It also included all filing instructions for both the state and federal level, along with payment submission details.

We have worked with this particular accounting firm for several years and have been given every indication that is the most thorough and comprehensive service available. We have also spoken with several of our professional peers and have found that this rate is very comparable as well. The advantage of having professional and personal taxes done at the same place is obvious, and if there are ever any questions at any level, the CPAs are available instantaneously.

I think it is very important that you find an accountant that really takes the time to get to know your business. For example, an accountant that has experience mostly with large corporations might not be the best option for a home-based business. Conversely, one with little or no experience in a large corporate environment may be a good choice for sole proprietorships. Ultimately, one that shows a genuine interest in your business will do the best job for you, and will have all of the knowledge to do so in an accurate and timely manner.
