How to Use a Certified Public Accountant

Introduction

Having grown Worldwide Express from a bootstrap operation in a spare room to a business that handles over $550 million annually, David Kiger knows a few things about making the most of resources.

For a recent article on his blog, David Kiger put together his thoughts on capitalizing on the services of a certified public accountant (CPA).

Benefits of using a CPA

Many business owners think of the CPA purely as the person in charge of handling their taxes and financial reports.

CPAs are invaluable for those tasks, but they can help a business with many other things as well.

For instance, CPAs can help a business choose the right corporate structure.

Many of them know a great deal about technology and can help a business identify new products and services that might benefit it.

And if a disaster impacts a business, the CPA can offer advice on when and how to get in contact with insurers as well as what a business needs to document and where it can go for help from the government.
