5 Tips for Small Businesses Filing Their Taxes

![How to Create a Budget for Accounting Services [With Template] cover image](https://img.shgstatic.com/clutch-static-prod/image/resize/715x400/s3fs-public/article/7dce8a5e1339227e397cf68f6f555f92.png)
Top Accountants and Accounting Firms
An accounting firm manages and analyzes a business’s financial activities. Core responsibilities include bookkeeping, preparing financial statements, filing taxes, and advising on cash flow and compliance. Many firms also offer strategic insights such as budgeting, forecasting, and risk management to help leadership make informed decisions. In short, accountants translate numbers into actionable business intelligence.
Typical offerings include:
- Bookkeeping & general ledger maintenance
- Payroll processing and payroll tax filings
- Tax preparation, planning, and advisory
- Audit and assurance (internal or external)
- Financial reporting under GAAP or IFRS
-
CFO or controller outsourcing
-
Specialized niches—estate planning, fiduciary accounting, or ERP system implementation Firms often bundle these services into customizable packages, letting you scale support as your organization grows.
Pricing depends on location, complexity, and scope:
- Basic monthly bookkeeping: $500–$2,000
- Full-service accounting (bookkeeping + payroll + tax): $2,000–$10,000 per month
- Annual audit for SMBs: $10,000–$50,000
- Hourly consulting: $100–$300+
Rates rise for Big Four–level audits, multi-entity consolidations, or highly regulated industries. Always request detailed proposals outlining deliverables, hourly rates, and any one-time fees.
Start by defining your must-have services and budget. Then:
- Check Clutch reviews for verified client experiences.
- Evaluate industry expertise—manufacturing, SaaS, nonprofit, etc.
- Confirm certifications (CPA, ACCA) and regulatory compliance.
- Assess communication style and tech stack (cloud platforms, automation tools).
- Request sample reports to gauge clarity and depth.
Shortlist two or three firms and schedule discovery calls before making a final decision.
- Lack of transparency about pricing or engagement scope
- Guarantees of “huge tax refunds” without context
- No proof of professional liability insurance
- Outdated software or resistance to cloud-based tools
- Slow or unclear communication during the proposal stage
If any of these arise, keep looking.
- Which industries do you specialize in?
- Who will be my day-to-day contact, and what are their qualifications?
- How do you ensure data security and confidentiality?
- What software platforms do you use, and can you integrate with our systems?
- How do you measure success and report on KPIs?
- Can you provide references for similar engagements?
Well-prepared answers indicate a firm’s readiness to support your business.
Outsourcing gives you on-demand access to a multidisciplinary team such as tax specialists, auditors, and CFO-level advisors, often at a lower cost than maintaining full-time staff. You also gain independent oversight, reduced fraud risk, and scalable expertise as your company expands.
Bookkeepers focus on daily transaction recording and basic reconciliations. Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firms can perform audits, represent you before tax authorities, and provide higher-level advisory services. Growing businesses often start with bookkeeping, then engage a CPA firm for complex compliance and strategic guidance.
