I ALREADY HAVE A TAX ACCOUNTANTA common mistake that many businesses make is asking their tax accountant to play too many roles. While your tax accountant is a valuable member of your team, you shouldn't ask them to be responsible for all of the accounting of the organization. For example, don't ask your tax accountant to handle your day-to-day bookkeeping or prepare monthly financial statements. Tax accountants that provide these services are often doing this to minimize their staff downtime. It is not a focus area for most tax accounting firms and you probably aren't going to get their best work or the best answers. Additionally, their focus is to minimize your taxes which mean minimizing your net profit. You never want to take tax basis statements to investors or banker for capital requests. Instead, consider hiring a firm that specializes in corporate and strategic accounting. You will get the experience and the knowledge necessary to deliver the results that you need in a cost-effective solution.
