Questions to Ask When Evaluating CPA and Accounting Firms
"The purpose of a CPA firm’s
accounting knowledge, tax knowledge, and work goes far beyond recording
historical transactions, knowing accounting principles, knowing tax
code and preparing tax returns."
-Layne Cochran

The following list of questions will help you evaluate services and benefits you should expect from your CPA or accounting firm.
- Are all phone calls returned promptly?
- Is monthly accounting completed in a timely manner? For instance will reports be available within a couple of weeks after the information is received in your office or should I expect to receive several months together?
- Do you make it a point to call your monthly accounting clients periodically to go over their financial statements and financial position with them?
- Will you monitor my monthly accounting and call me with issues while they are still small and easy to handle?
- Do you provide tax planning services during the year, avoiding year-end surprises?
- Are tax deadlines met and extensions kept to a minimum?
- Will I ever need to call to find out why my tax return is not done?
- Is all my work delivered when promised?
- If I call with a quick question will I get a bill? Is information from you carefully compiled and as understandable as possible? Can I get additional clarification if I want?
