Q:What is a CPA?

A: The designation of Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is a precise definition of a person's competence and experience in the complex profession of accounting, which includes tax preparation and consulting for individuals and businesses. To obtain this distinction, an individual must have met exacting education and experience standards and have successfully passed a rigid examination, uniform in all fifty states. Once a person has achieved the designation of CPA he or she is required to fulfill annual continuing education requirements to maintain their permit to practice as a CPA.

The CPA is a member of a distinguished profession that is dedicated to the maintenance of the highest standards of honesty, integrity, privacy, and public responsibility. The CPA is one of the most highly trusted and respected professionals in today's environment. This is illustrated by the fact that CPA's have influenced the major financial decisions made by individuals, businesses, and governments throughout history and the fact that a CPA can represent you in front of the IRS without any additional examination by the IRS.

Q: Why should I choose a CPA to give me advice or prepare my tax returns?

A: As a CPA, an individual has met stringent educational and work experience requirements and must meet annual continuing educational requirements administered by a state board. This assures you that the CPA and their firm are educated and experienced individuals committed to maintaining their knowledge and ability to provide up-to-date and competent services to you.
