I'm using an accountant for taxes this year for the first time and am thoroughly unimpressed. My taxes have gone on extension and it's irritating because I'm expecting a pretty hefty refund. This is also an all-manual shop, so aside from teh ease of being able to fax them reports from what I've done Quicken's not adding as much value for me as it could and , something's telling me that there may be a more efficient way to communicate with my accountant.
Now, I know some full time small biz owners who use business accountants that set them up with Quickbooks, and their communicaiton channel to the accountant is in the form of a quickbooks file.
My little ole side businesses aren't fancy enough to require Quickbooks, and as a sole proprietorship, everythings mixed with my personal tax return anyway. As such I would be interested in finding an accountant that I could communicate with by handing them a CD with my latest quicken file on it.
Do such folks exist, and if so is there a good method of finding em? I'm in a big city, so it can't be that hard!
Any success stories out there?
Best Regards,
