Even though I’m not a CPA, I do my work at a review level. I’m allowed to put a compilation letter on it!

Great very helpful discussion

I personally think if you are running a business, definitely vet out who you plan to trust with your finances. Don't take the cheap route and hire a tax Preparer to fix your taxes. Hire someone who has put in the time to obtain those licenses, and has no issues with the FTB/IRS. You are better off paying the BIG bucks for quality work the first time.

Great video. I have been to some classes where the instructor was adamant about only using CPA's for taxes because of the extra protection. My current accountants are EA and have told me they carry insurance just like CPA's do and can help with IRS issues as they arise. What are your thoughts about CPA vs EA for business taxes? Should I use only a CPA?

Some Accountants also have their MBA (letters behind their name)

[@Essays4College]

No legit person puts MBA after their name, even if they have one.
