What Should You Expect from Your CPA?

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

In a recent Ask Me Anything Office Hours I held, someone posed the really excellent question…

I’ve been in solo practice for 5 years and hired a CPA for the first time 2 years ago, to do my taxes. I’ve been surprised at what’s not included by that service, such as advice about when to start filing as an S-corp, or things I should consider about expenses using a home office now, after having had a outside office previously. Am I mixed up about what each type of profession does?

This is a question I get a LOT. So I decided to record a video reply everyone could watch.

Check out my video below 👇 and learn what type of advice you should be getting from your tax professional — and what to do if you’re not!

Best,
Dave

PS: IRAs, 401(k)’s and other retirement plan questions on your mind?

But don't let my love of the tax code and spreadsheets scare you off!

Many of us believe that willpower is like a battery – full at the start of the day, but depleted as the day wears on. And that this low battery leaves us vulnerable to poor impulse control and regrettable choices later in the day. And there is research seemingly backing up this limited view of willpower. The phenomenon came to be known...

Hello Reader, It wasn’t just a good day, it was a GREAT day. I was clear-headed, sharp, uber-productive. I was flying through my to-do list, and doing (IMHO) my best work, when I made a quick pivot to dispatch some emails. One email was from HR, announcing a change to the vacation policy. What? That’s interesting. Without hesitation, I click on the attached PDF to see if it was good news or bad. And just like that… I had been phished. I knew that clicking on a suspicious attachment could...
