Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some of the most frequently asked questions we get about our accounting and financial services. The answers are infomational and should not be construed as accounting, legal or tax advice.
Do I need all these different financial services, or just one?
It depends on your individual needs and goals. Some services like basic tax prep might be handled independently, while complex business needs might require a combination of services like accounting, consulting, and estate planning.
Consulting a financial professional can help you determine the right fit.
What's the difference between a CPA and a regular accountant?
CPAs have additional qualifications and experience, allowing them to perform complex services like audits and forensic accounting.
However, many qualified accountants can handle basic tax and bookkeeping tasks.
How often should I review my financial plan?
Life changes, so it’s wise to review your plan every 3-5 years or sooner if you experience major life events like marriage, births, or significant income changes.
What resources can help me learn more about specific financial topics?
Independent financial websites, reputable news articles, and educational materials from professional organizations can provide valuable information.
Remember, consult professionals for personalized advice.
How can I manage my own finances better?
Budgeting, tracking expenses, automating savings, and educating yourself about financial concepts are key steps.
Consider apps and tools to simplify personal finance management.
What are the biggest red flags I should watch out for financially?
Unexplained debt, lack of emergency savings, overspending, ignoring bills, and falling behind on credit card payments can be signs of trouble.
Seek professional guidance if needed.
How can I choose the right financial advisor or CPA?
Look for someone with relevant experience, strong credentials, clear communication style, and fees that align with your budget.
Schedule consultations to assess their understanding of your needs and personality fit.
Is it ever too late to start planning for retirement?
No! Even small contributions starting later can benefit from compounding interest.
Start exploring retirement savings options, even if you’re young, and seek professional advice to optimize your plan.
What are some common mistakes people make with their finances?
Not investing early enough, living beyond their means, ignoring retirement planning, and failing to diversify investments are common pitfalls.
Consulting professionals can help avoid these mistakes.
How can I protect myself from financial scams and fraud?
Stay informed about common scams, be cautious of unsolicited offers, research before investing, never share personal information easily, and consider subscribing to credit monitoring services.
