Frequently Asked Questions
When should I contact an accountant?
As soon as money starts moving in your business, it’s time to talk to an accountant.
You should contact an accountant when:
- You’re starting a new business and need help choosing an entity (sole prop, LLC, S corp, etc.).
- Your bookkeeping is falling behind or you’re not sure your records are correct.
- You receive a notice from the IRS or the state and you’re not sure what it means.
- You’re planning a big change — buying equipment, hiring employees, or expanding to a new state.
- You want proactive tax planning instead of just filing at the last minute.
- For general IRS guidance for small businesses, you can review the IRS Small Business & Self-Employed Tax Center:
https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed
- To see official federal tax forms, publications and tools, you can always start from the main IRS site:
https://www.irs.gov
What are my options for raising money for my business?
- Small businesses usually raise money through banks, SBA-backed loans, lines of credit, or outside investors. No matter which option you choose, lenders and investors all look for the same things: clean bookkeeping, basic financial statements, and a realistic business plan with projections.
At Ezzy Tax, we help you get “funding ready” by organizing your books, preparing accurate financials, and building numbers that support your business plan so you can have stronger conversations with banks and investors.
How can I know which accountant is right for me?
The right accountant should make your life easier, not more confusing. When you’re choosing who to work with, ask:
- Relevant experience – Do they regularly work with clients like you (your size, industry, and type of entity)?
- Clear communication – Do they explain taxes and accounting in plain language so you understand your numbers and options?
- Availability – Will you hear from them during the year, not just at tax time?
- Credentials and accuracy – Are they properly credentialed (CPA, EA, etc.) and focused on accurate, well-documented books, not just filling in a tax form?
At Ezzy Tax, clients work directly with experienced professionals who keep the books clean, provide proactive guidance, and give straightforward answers. If you’re unsure about your current accountant, we can review your situation and give you an honest opinion.
