I was told and read that not all accountants are the same and like employees and contractors you should interview them as such. I use QuickBooks to track everything, I have no background in finance and now the load is to heavy and strenuous. Therefore its time to outsource and eliminate that portion of the stress load. What would I need to know or have them need to know besides the general characteristics of what I do and what program I use now?
suggestions?
Maybe down the road this will help others as well.
THANK YOU!
