Anybody own their own business? Questions about getting an accountant.

[BLS 313]

So personally I've never needed an accountant, nor dealed with one in the past.

However my buddy needs one for his home-based business and asked me a question I couldn't answer.

 

He wants to deal with his business and taxes and is looking for an accountant.

I told him I couldn't help him, but friends I've talked to have all said something similar; "find one that works in the gray area".

 

So I get what that means, per se, but how do you go about finding an accountant that does that exactly?

In the gay area? Well if you live anywhere close to Minneapolis that really shouldn't be very hard to find.

Most good accounts "work" that way. Can't he get a referral from someone?

Look up accountants on the interwebs that are in your the area that you live in? This isn't very hard. I drive by two office buildings every day that have "Tax Accountant" signs outside of them.

With a home based business, the last thing you want is to be in a gray area. Thaey are ripe for audits.

Especially one owned by someone who fraternizes with the likes of BLS.
