Three key factors exist for a business to maintain successful financials and tax reporting. They are as follows: 1.Accurate entry into whatever accounting software they use. 2.Practical and efficient recordkeeping of paper files. 3.A reputable tax professional such as an accountant, enrolled agent, or CPA. This book offers a much needed reference place for the first two key factors and makes it a whole lot easier for the third. It is difficult for reputable tax professionals to accept clients with poor bookkeeping practices. Not only will fees be higher but you run the risk of being dropped as a client altogether. If your books are clean at year end and supporting documentation is readily available, your tax preparation costs will be lower and the tax professional will not dread the moment you walk in the door.
