Have you ever thought of your CPA as a friend? If you find the right CPA, they will know details of your life many friends and family members don’t know. There is a level of trust and respect in the relationship that develops every year. Each year, your CPA will be updated on your life to ensure your family’s taxes are handled properly and you receive the best tax return possible (or pay no more than is actually due!). Your CPA should be someone you can trust to be honest, tell you what is truly the best, and worry about the numbers for you.
Even for experienced CPAs, there are still tax breaks and new laws, so every year there are new challenges and developments, even when filing the same family’s taxes. For this reason, it can be beneficial to have a CPA file your taxes, as they know how to navigate the tax landscape and will know the latest filing proceedings. You have worked hard all year and deserve the peace of mind knowing everything was filed properly. When you find a CPA you trust, you have a friend wanting to ensure your family is taken care of and will do so year after year.
