How do you find a reliable accountant for your business?
I know that you would probably need to hire an accountant if one day,you cannot manage your finance from your business.
1.Then,how would you know if your accountant is trustworthy with your money?
I cannot imagine what are the checks on crooks in a big business such as SONY or so on…
The people that sign on your paycheck.
I want to start a business some day,but I need to know what I need to do to ensure that the people that I work with aren’t crooks.

I found my CPA through Dave Ramsey’s website.
Hope this helps!

1. Look for CPAs in your area to find possibilities. If an accountant has previously been found guilty of any type of fraud/embezzlement/etc, they would have lost their license.
2. Do background checks on your narrowed possibilities. Search the public record by going to local counties’ “clerk of courts” web sites.
3. Trust your instincts to make your final pick.
Once you do make a pick, check on that person’s work from time to time. For example, check with the IRS to ensure that your taxes are actually being paid. Check your account statements/balances to see if any weird charges are being made.
Good luck!

Ask your network. Do some online research. Interview several candidates. Hire the one you are comfortable with and matches your needs.
