*Check with business colleagues, in particular those that seem to be doing well; ask them about their professional tax services. Find out if they are satisfied with their results, and if they'd recommend them. Find out what factors in tax planning are most crucial in your business sector.

*How a tax acccounting firm handles audits is a very important question. Ask them what number of audits they've done for clients, and what the were in these cases. Make sure understand what the associated costs are to you. Many firms cover all costs incurred by an audit, others should be able to show a clear fee schedule for services that would be rendered in the event of an audit. If not, what exactly is their fee schedule for this service? How many they have performed? What is their success rate? How many of their clients have gone to prison? Kidding here!

*A professional tax service that focuses mostly on large manufacturing companies will have different skillset and experience than that has mostly small company clients. Get a good idea of what vertical markets your prospective tax accounts primarily serve.

*Ask them how they prefer to recieve documents and receipts. Most will tell you if you bring in a shoebox full of reciepts and documents, it will take much longer to sort through everything, than if you actually have a more organized system. Also inquire about the turnaround time you can expect. How early do you need to have everything in to them so that all your tax forms are submitted in a timely manner without requiring an extension.

*Education - Ask about their continuing education process. Tax laws change often and keeping abreast of these changes and how they will impact your business is extremely important. This is an important question to ask If you want to make sure your accountants make sure you take advantage of every write-off available to you.

*Cost. These may differ widely from firm to firm. Don't fool yourself into believing that the most costly firm is the best. Do your research and ask hard questions. Your goal is to find the best professional tax service that you can afford, sometimes that is not the most costly one.

Best of luck and happy filing!
