Whether you are in Trinity, FL, New Port Richey, FL or anywhere in the US for that matter, looking for a CPA or accounting firm, is always difficult, especially when so many firms seem to offer the same services. But the decision can be made much easier when you have a way to personally evaluate the service and benefits of each CPA and accounting firm. Whether you are an individual or a business, and whether you are hiring an accountant for the first time or looking to change firms, there are things that you need to know about the prospective firm before you make your choice.

If you are in Trinity, FL, New Port Richey, FL, or elsewhere, and if you are searching for a CPA firm there are some simple questions you need to ask...

"The purpose of a CPA firms accounting knowledge, tax knowledge, and work goes far beyond recording historical transactions, knowing accounting principles, knowing tax code and preparing tax returns."

The following list of questions will help you evaluate services and benefits you should expect from your CPA or accounting firm.

Are all phone calls returned promptly?
Is monthly accounting completed in a timely manner? For instance will reports be available within a couple of weeks after the information is received in your office or should I expect to receive several months together?
Do you make it a point to call your monthly accounting clients periodically to go over their financial statements and financial position with them?
Will you monitor my monthly accounting and call me with issues while they are still small and easy to handle?
Do you provide tax planning services during the year, avoiding year-end surprises?
Are tax deadlines met and extensions kept to a minimum?

Is all my work delivered when promised?
If I call with a quick question will I get a bill? Is information from you carefully compiled and as understandable as possible? Can I get additional clarification if I want?
