Accounting & bookkeeping in San Jose

Accounting and bookkeeping firms help you keep your money records in order and meet your tax obligations. Many offer tax preparation and tax planning for individuals, small business accounting, bookkeeping, payroll services, QuickBooks setup, and help with retirement planning. Some also represent clients in IRS audits. Before you hire one, ask whether the person preparing your return holds a credential such as a CPA or enrolled agent, and ask how they handle questions after filing. Check that they can explain their fees in writing before any work begins. If you need help, contact them early in the year rather than close to the filing deadline, when appointments fill up fast.
