Home » Accounting » CPAs » When do you need a CPA?When do you need to hire a CPA? Don’t hesitate to seek professional help if
• you're starting a new business,
• the nature of your business changes,
• you have issues with the IRS,
• you hire employees,
• you incorporate,
• you have any uncertainty about handling taxes.
If your business is simple, unincorporated and you're comfortable with record keeping and tax laws, you can probably get by with little professional help. However, it is time-consuming for a small business owner to spend his time learning accounting and tax code. His attention may need to be focused on his business. Sometimes it's more profitable to pay a professional CPA for consulting and advice when compared to the time it would take to research and perform the work.
Also, a professional CPA can bring additional information and attention to the business more efficiently. Having someone from outside the company look at your numbers can bring a more objective view than from someone running the day-to-day business.
Additionally, many times people who own small businesses fail to capitalize on the changing tax code and it’s benefits. The advantage gained from a CPA can increase profits dramatically.
