Choosing the Right CPA Firm for Your Business: Key Considerations

Business is serious. You go from balancing the books to interpreting foreign-language tax rules. Therefore, a CPA firm is a must for your business, not a “nice-to-have”. But not all CPA firms are same. How do you pick one? It’s not by throwing a dart at the Yellow Pages (do they still exist?). You’ll see why AnchorUp CPA should be your first choice once we discuss some critical factors.

No two businesses are same

Industry experience is crucial. We hope you wouldn’t allow a plumber to fix your car, so why trust any CPA with your business’s finances? Tax deductions and compliance rules vary by industry, so your CPA should know them well. With expertise in a variety of industries, AnchorUp CPA knows what you need (and don’t) for your tech startup, construction company, or bakery. Small details might save you large cash.

Services: More Than Taxes

Every CPA firm can file taxes. But a good CPA goes beyond. They provide bookkeeping, payroll, financial planning, and business advising services. If your accountant merely helps you file taxes, you’re missing out on a complete suite of services that might grow your business. AnchorUp CPA goes beyond taxes to be your financial partner. We’ll support your organization with anything from daily budgets to long-term plans. Consider us your entrepreneurial co-pilot.

Reputation: Not Just Restaurants Have Google Reviews

Your CPA firm will know all your financial secrets, so you want them to be trustworthy, right? Do homework. Check reviews, get recommendations, and ask around. How do other clients rate them? Keep looking if all you find are complaints or “meh” reviews. Check our Google reviews, AnchorUp CPA is well-regarded. We are trustworthy, professional, and—gasp—fun to work with. We run a numbers business, but we love creating client relationships.

Is Your CPA a Ghost?

The CPA firm should be available year-round for your business, not just during tax season. You want a firm that’s timely, accessible, and willing to meet for advice or financial issues. So you want a CPA who won’t ghost you. AnchorUp CPA believes in being available to customers year-round, not just during tax season. Questions about your finances? Need immediate business decision advice? We’re available by phone or email.

Communication

Do You Speak “Tax,” Or Not? Financial terms can confuse you. The correct CPA firm can simplify tax and accounting terminology into clear English (or French). If your accountant makes you feel like you need a PhD to comprehend your money, they’re not doing their job. AnchorUp CPA prides itself on turning “accountant-speak” into plain language. Regular updates and explanations of your money's progress will keep you Informed.

Price: You Get What You Pay For

We understand budget concerns. You receive what you pay for with a CPA firm. Bargain-bin services may save you money upfront, but missed deductions, botched audits, and compliance problems can cost you big.
