Businesses require complex record keeping and periodic tax reporting services throughout the year. Many accountants offer bookkeeping, bank reconciliation and other business services in addition to tax preparation services. The advantage to working with an accountant for all of these services is simple. An accountant is a governmentally regulated professional, who understands the tax code that applies to all of your business transactions.

Are you using a bookkeeper to manage your business records? You may have bookkeeping errors that can result in a tax audit. Only an accountant can review your bookkeeping methods and answer that question with any certainty.
