CPA
what is the best way to find a CPA and how do they structure their fees
Terry Says
Fees are always negotiated, typically structured on an hourly basis. And it depends on the work. But you need to know what services you need.
Are you just looking for someone to help you file your tax return? Then TurboTax deluxe that gives you access to a CPA may solve your problem.
Are you looking for tax planning advice, then you might need a relationship with a CPA. Try asking at your local bank trust department or a friend in your situation.
Are you looking for a business accountant? Ask your local Rotary or community business association.
When you figure out what you need, you have a discussion with the person in advance — asking about how much they will charge per hour, and estimate of how many hours are involved.
