08 May Accounting Firm: Five Reasons Why DIY Taxes Aren’t Your Best Option
Five Reasons Why An Accounting Firm Is Better Than DIY Tax Options
Every spring, Americans are forced to answer the same question: Will I hire someone to do my taxes or will I do them myself? For some, they have friends or family who have accounting connections or who are experienced at doing taxes themselves. For others, however, the decision isn’t that simple.
You are certainly capable of doing your taxes by yourself, but at Jeff Pickering, CPA, we firmly believe that going with an accounting firm is a better option than a do-it-yourself (DIY) option. In today’s post, we’ll give you five reasons why we think you should utilize an accounting firm.

Accounting Firms Hire Professionals
Arguably, the biggest reason why you should look into hiring an accounting firm is that they utilize trained experts to do your taxes. DIY tax methods are good, but you aren’t a tax professional and probably aren’t planning on becoming one in the near future. Using an accounting firm assures that you will have a professional dealing with your tax forms at all times.
