What is a CPA and why should you use one?
An individual earns the credentials of being a certified public accountant in the state of Georgia after completing the required education, sitting for
a rigorous uniform examination administered by the state board of accountancy and meeting certain work requirements. Maintaining the CPA credential requires constant continuing professional education that enables the professional to stay up to date on current changes in the law. In Georgia, a CPA is required to take eighty hours of continuing education to renew their license every two years. What does that mean to you? It is an opportunity to work with a professional that has an extensive and continuing education in this constantly changing environment. Whether it be business or personal tax compliance, tax planning, bookkeeping or payroll, etc., a CPA brings a wide range of knowledge and technical capabilities that can make a
real difference in your financial success.

Preparing your own income tax return can be a daunting task that leaves you with more questions than answers. Today’s tax laws are so complicated that filing a fairly simple tax return can still be confusing. Tax software programs can provide a false sense of security as it’s easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled, and there’s simply no substitute for the assistance of an experienced and knowledgeable tax professional.
Bookkeeping and Advisory Services
Organized financial records are the foundation of a successful business, but the steps involved with basic bookkeeping can be overwhelming depending on the size of your business and the volume of transactions.
