One of the main differences in accountants is risk tolerance. Freelancers have considerable leeway in the way they structure their taxable income and accordingly can have considerable variation in their risk of an audit. Make sure you interview a couple accountants and try to find an accountant whose risk tolerance matches your own. Don't expect that a big firm will be more conservative than a small one--the opposite is often the case.
