Have You Outgrown Your Accountant?

Being a business owner can be lonely and challenging. Having an accountant that can act as a sounding board and is there when you need solid business advice is priceless. Not all accountants are created equal. It’s tempting to think that all accountants are the same, but ask yourself this; what kind of service are you getting? Extra advice and service is what separates a good accountant from a great one.
