Taxes & Accountants Suggestions

Post by cesarcesar »

I run a sole-proprietor web dev company. After a few years of going at it alone, my taxes really need someone on them who knows what they are doing. I have spoken with a few accountants but am finding that many know nothing "special" about accounting for the web business.

So my questions are:

1) Can someone suggest some tips to finding a qualified accountant. What questions to ask them and such.

2) I would also like to know what type of "legal" tax tricks or deductions i should definitely be doing to make the most after taxes.

3) Any URL to great info is also appreciated.

Lets make this post great!

You want to find an account that specializes in business taxes. The type of business is irrelevent, but they should have a solid understanding of business of your type (service, sales, product, manufacturing, etc) and location type (home, office, both). I use H&R Block to do my taxes and they do a decent job of asking the right questions. But if you are considering an accountant, you should seriously consider someone with business accounting experience.
