CPA or tax accountant recommendation?

[texxter]

I have searched the forum for recent recommendations for a CPA or tax account familiar with both small business and the commercial photography business, and have a couple of names, but I'd like to ask forum members directly - do you have a recommendation for a CPA or tax accountant I can have a consultation with? I am doing my own taxes, but I have questions I want to run by a professional.

I live in Plano, but a phone consultation doesn't require the CPA to be in Dallas.

Thanks in advance!

Paco, I don't know what Holly knows about commercial photography, but she definitely can handle the small business tax issues: Holly C. Roundtree, Certified Public Accountant - Dallas, Texas

My grandfather and my mother are both accountants at Turner Vedrenne & Howard (my grandfather is the Vedrenne) :) I can give you his number if you'd like.

Lisa, Kaitlynn, thank you much for responding! Kaitlynn, please let me have your grandpa's number via a PM.

Mine is the BEEEEEESSSSSTTTTTTTT!!! He's so so so great.

Tax Prep Financial Services Corp.

He specializes in small home-based businesses, so he knows all the tax laws and special deductions related to that. He uses worksheets that make doing taxes super duper easy (as long as you keep track of your expenses). His rate is $85 an hour I believe, and he usually takes 2-3 hours.

I'm one of those people who follows the tax laws to the LETTER because I am so scared of an audit, and I still pay so much less in taxes than everyone I know, thanks to Jeff. Can't recommend him highly enough!

Thanks, Stacy!

Sweet!

I've been digging through tax laws trying to figure out what I need to do to get my business going legally...does he do consultations? (after tax season, of course!)

I believe they do. Give them a call. They are quite accessible.

They are a long time married couple. It seems you get a two-fer with them with their work desks adjacent and cross discussions between them.
