5 ways small businesses can choose the right CPA firm [Video]

5 ways small businesses can choose the right CPA firm

The search process for the right CPA firm demands comprehensive research and your undivided attention. Details matter. But that doesn’t mean it needs to be an arduous affair. Here are five essentials that will ease the search process. Read the full article on how to select the best CPA firm for your small business here: https://www.aicpa.org/professional-insights/article/five-ways-small-businesses-can-choose-the-right-accounting-firm

1) Start soon after you form your business.
The best time to hire a CPA firm is before you’ve offered your first product or service. Yes, you need to think about it at the beginning of your journey to create a new organization.

2) Look for a regulatory expert.
No matter the industry, small businesses have regulatory and compliance concerns to address. Your CPA firm must have a deep knowledge of meeting these concerns to handle all your business activity correctly.

3) Find a firm that stays on top of tax law changes.
We only have to look back to 2018, when sweeping federal tax code changes took effect under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). In 2022, digital services such as PayPal, Venmo and Zelle will, for the first time, report payments of more than $600 to the IRS.

4) Leverage CPAs for their industry knowledge and ability to move your business forward.
The right firm will understand your enterprise on a deep level, whether you manufacture machine parts or employ new cloud software products. A CPA firm well versed in your industry allows you to benefit from the intimate knowledge they have — and will continue to glean from other clientele in your line of business.

5) Get clear and responsive communication.
While accounting demands a laser focus on numbers and laws, communication and responsiveness provide the glue that holds everything together. CPAs will take the time to understand you, your business and your goals.

The Difference between a Top-tier and a Low-tier Business School [Video]

I’ve taught at several different business schools, and I’ve found that both higher-tier and lower-tier business schools teach the same business concepts. You’ll learn about Porter’s Five Forces, the four P’s of marketing, and the financial statements. So if you’re learning the same concepts, why do some people try so hard to get into a top business school? I mean, why does it matter where you go to school? It matters because classroom learning is just one aspect of the business school experience. What you get out of business school is also a function of: • The quality of the school’s alumni network and faculty, as well as your classmates • The helpfulness of the school’s career center • The reputation of the school and its ability to become a recruiting target for top firms — Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
