Not your parents' accountant
I met a guy at a conference where we were a sponsor and his company was a sponsor. We got to talking about his business, centered on accounting and taxes for creators, and it hit me. This is not your parents' CPA. Nate Coughran talks with us today about what you need to look for when you hire a CPA and it can’t be just because your parents know a “guy”. Today’s episode is sponsored by Cookie Finance. You’ll hear more about Cookie Finance throughout this episode. At SPM we choose sponsors because we believe they have great tools for our audience. Accounting and tax services are essential for small businesses and choosing the right one can mean you sleep better at night and know that once you hit tax season you’re confident all the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed.
