Why Use a CPA?

By Sandra Johnson posted 10-03-2012 05:44 PM

  
During a slow economy many of our current and potential future clients may be tempted to use a non-CPA to prepare their tax returns.  It is our job to educate our clients as to why using a licensed CPA is so important.
  • CPAs must pass an intense uniform exam. 
  • CPAs must take continuing education (40 hours per year in New York State.)
  • CPAs must have experience to become licensed.
  • CPAs must have a college degree (150 credits as of 2009 in New York State.)
  • CPAs must follow a strict code of ethics.
  • CPAs must sign a tax return they are paid to prepare.
  • CPAs can represent you in an audit.
  • CPAs provide consistency and stability.
  • CPA offices are open all year round.
  • CPAs provide tax planning.
  • CPAs have been rated the most trusted business professional in national studies.
  • And much, much more!

Please share with our community how you get the word out to your clients.
