Why Should I Hire a CPA for my Accounting Needs?

April 12, 2017

If you own a small business it is strongly recommended that you partner with a CPA you can trust. A CPA is different from many of the other types of accountants for a few reasons. Here are just a few of those to explain why you should hire a CPA for your accounting needs.

Passed the CPA Exam

To become a certified public accountant, you must pass a grueling CPA exam. By passing this exam, it shows an accounting professional has a complete grasp and full understanding of accounting practices. To be successful on the exam, a Florida accounting professional needs to possess extensive math skills and tax knowledge.

Continuing Education

The CPA license, once obtained, must also be maintained. The CPA license requires a Florida certified public accountant committed to on-going education in the world of accounting. These are continuing education requirements which other types of accountants simply don’t need to complete. This means CPAs are up-to-date with current tax laws and accounting practices.

Real Accounting Experience

When (not if) accounting issues arise you want someone who has years of experience helping to solve the problem. Florida CPAs have experience from a wide variety of accounting areas as opposed to being specialized in one area such as taxes or bookkeeping. This means they can look at any potential problems from multiple angles and solve any potential issues before they happen.

IRS Audit Support

Hopefully, you will never have to deal with an IRS audit, but if you do a CPA is eligible to represent you before the IRS in an audit. Accountants who aren’t CPAs can only represent their clients in a limited capacity. This is a great reason to partner with a CPA early on as opposed to seeking out their help after it is already too late.
