This numbers pro who will help you do your taxes and may assist in other areas of your financial life, like investing and retirement. If you’re an individual or smaller shop, you can likely handle these yourself (perhaps with assistance from software like TurboTax).

When looking for an accountant, make sure they have this designation.
