If you have a business then you may need an accountant depending on what business you have and how big it is. My parents had a small business and they had an accountant and personally I think that I could have done a better job than this person did. That is why you have to do your research so that you can get the best accounting raleigh has to offer you. There is no sense in paying someone to budget your books if you could do just as good a job if not a better job…that right their is bad budgeting. It does not take a college graduate with a masters degree in accounting to balance a check book!
