I am on a lookout for something like that again as my past accountant retired. The guy made me ~$100k on top of what anyone else would do.
Stay away from big, fat, multi-employee accounting companies.
I tried that route, asked question, received an answer together with $500+tax bill. Sent "WTF?" email, received 50% cut off the bill and cut them off loose for good as well.
Once you found your accountant - ask him/her the same question - our situations are likely different.
I working for US company from non-home province, living in rented apartment and getting paid in US dollars. This deserves specially-skilled accountant and I still looking for one.
- mattm 12y agoI agree with this. Went with a "big, fat, multi-employee accounting company" for doing my 1st year taxes. Ended up getting a bill for $3200 for a pretty simple return. Looking into it more, it seemed half the cost was a junior accountant fiddling with numbers in Excel. I was not happy and didn't use them again. I do my own taxes now since my bookkeeping is pretty simple and it just takes a few hours. But I would follow this advice should my situation become more complex or I don't want to do it anymore. Pick a few accountants out of the Yellow Pages with modest ads and go visit them for an initial consultation which should be free. Avoid any with fancy offices.
