How to choose an accountant in New York
- Ask whether the person is a CPA, an enrolled agent, or a bookkeeper, since each credential allows different work, and confirm any CPA license with your state board of accountancy.
- Look for experience with your situation, such as self-employment, rental property, an S corporation, or multi-state filing, because general practitioners may miss details specific to your setup.
- Ask how fees work before signing. Hourly, flat, and monthly retainer models all exist, and a clear written engagement letter should spell out what is and is not included.
- Be cautious with preparers who promise a bigger refund before seeing your records or who refuse to sign the return. Paid preparers are required to sign and include their ID.
