Hopefully, you met the deadline and had your federal income taxes filed on time this spring, which means you don’t have to have any contact with your accountant for eight or nine months, right? Not so fast. Accountants aren’t just for taxes anymore. You should talk with your accountant on a regular basis throughout the year.
If your argument against that idea is you can’t afford to pay for the services of an accountant any more than is absolutely necessary, you may want to reconsider. Checking in frequently with a numbers expert can actually save you money in the long run.
