Do you run a Co. or are you self employed / partnership?
The rules are probably quite different in the States to over here in the UK, but unless you actually run a Co., over here you don't NEED an accountant. They are very expensive. It's better to hire a book - keeper and then have a tax consultant look at the business and make sure all compliance/planning issues are dealt with at least once a year. In the long run it works out cheaper and you can often get better advice. ( I hasten to say I am speaking from a UK point of view so no 2x4's please. I have worked for both Deloittes and running my own tax business so I have experience of both ways).
Hope today is a better day for you.
