While all accountants have been tested and considered qualified in their fields, it is a good idea to look around before deciding on your accountant. Here are several things you will want to look for:
• Someone who understands the general problems that come with your size business.
• Someone who has experience with your particular type of business.
• Someone who is very familiar with the current market you are dealing with.
• Someone who is upfront about all fees and job responsibilities.
• Someone whom you feel comfortable with, who seems trustworthy, and who can provide excellent referrals from bankers, attorneys, and other community entrepreneurs.
