Advisory March 15, 2026

Selecting the right CPA is crucial for the financial health of your the United States-based entity. The right partner acts as a part-time CFO, guiding your growth.

Credentials and Defense

Ensure your chosen professional is a licensed CPA. This means they hold Power of Attorney privileges to defend you against IRS audits.

Communication Cadence

You should not only speak to your CPA once a year. Monthly bookkeeping and quarterly tax strategy sessions are fundamental to our approach at Stingley CPA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I technically need a CPA to file my business taxes?

While not legally required to file, defending a business return against an IRS audit requires a CPA, Enrolled Agent, or Attorney. Furthermore, complex entities heavily benefit from CPA strategy to minimize the balance due.

How often should I talk to my CPA?

High-growth businesses should be connected with their CPA firm monthly for bookkeeping reviews and quarterly for estimated tax adjustments and year-end planning.

What questions should I ask when hiring a CPA?

Always ask about their communication cadence, their experience with your specific industry, and whether they focus on retroactive compliance or proactive tax planning.
