Ask HN: How did you find your CPA/tax advisor?
Q: How have you all found reliable CPAs&#x2F;accountants&#x2F;tax advisors in the past? I can&#x27;t seem to find one in my network that works with smaller businesses (ie, not one of the Big 4), and I can&#x27;t find any online directory that seems useful.<p>Backstory: It&#x27;s that time of the year again, where my books are closed and cleaned, and I&#x27;d normally be buying the next year of TurboTax (one for personal, one for business). I&#x27;ve been doing my own taxes for the past many years just because it was easy enough to do, but this year I&#x27;d rather go find someone. It just wastes too much of my time trying to file for two different businesses on top of doing my own stuff, and I know a professional would do a better job. On top of that, I&#x27;d love to find a CPA or someone that could advise on the changing regulations like Section 199A here in the US and I&#x27;ve always wanted to have someone on tap that could answer financial questions as they arise, instead of me doing my best on Google.<p>Would love any suggestions on places or associations you&#x27;ve turned to, or ways that you&#x27;ve found pros that have been solid for you.
