What to Watch for When Hiring a CPA in Gilroy

Bring last year's return

A CPA can give a better first answer if they can see last year's return, notices, entity type, payroll setup, bookkeeping file, and major changes from this year.

Ask who does the work

Some firms have a partner review everything. Others assign most work to staff. Neither is wrong, but you should know who prepares the return and who signs off.

Do not wait until filing week

If you have rental income, business income, stock sales, back taxes, payroll, or missing records, call earlier. Last-minute work costs more and gives everyone less room to catch issues.
