Are you tired of last-minute tax returns, filings, and surprise tax liabilities? Do you have pent-up questions for your accountant that have never been answered? When was the last time your accountant gave you ideas about how to save money on taxes without you even asking? When it comes to dealing with an accountant, you deserve more than you’ve been getting. The traditional role of an accountant was when you felt like you needed something, you told them whether that was a tax return or you’d received a notice that you needed help with or had an audit.
I’m still not sure why you had to tell your accountant you needed a tax return. Doesn’t April 15th happen at the same time every year?
Well, those things will keep you out of jail. And that’s a great thing for business owners, but let’s take a minute to reimagine the perfect role of an accountant in your business. If your best friend were a doctor, you’d ask a lot of questions, the big ones, and the small ones. You’d rely on your friend and trust that they were giving you the best advice possible because they care about you. What if working with your accountant was the same way? How much differently would your business operate? You’d ask questions and use those answers to make your business more profitable and grow your bottom line.
