Your CPA: The Big-Picture Strategist

A Certified Public Accountant usually steps in for:

  • Tax planning + filing

  • Financial audits

  • High-level advisory

  • Compliance and legal reporting

CPAs are experts in tax codes, government regulations, and strategic tax planning. They’re especially helpful at year-end and during major financial decisions (like selling, buying, or restructuring your business).
