NYC Accountant

[Erik Goldstein]

Looking for an accountant in the NYC area that understands Steadicam business and can help get a new businesses setup. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Eric;

 

Welcome to forum and talk to tim tyler about using full name.

 

Any accountant that knows independent contractors or small businesses will work fine.

 

"Specialty" accountants know the same thing and will probably just cost more.

 

In fact having to interview several before deciding on both compatibility and price will tell you a lot.

 

What is maybe more important is to explain YOUR business to them then you get another and/or several different takes on the business part of it. All of it makes you smarter and you can consider things differently. They always present things know you have not thought of.

 

For years I stuck with an accountant who didn't match my needs from fear of changing and boy was that wrong.

 

Go for it and if it doesn't work find a new one.

 

CPA societies can also recommend a list of accountants based on your needs, that's what they are there for!!!

Beware the Internet ads for "recommendations".

 

Good luck.

Hi Janice,

 

Perhaps I am missing the setting, but I did not see where I can change my name.

 

Thank you for your recommendations, the CPA society was the perfect start!

It's a mystery talk to tim tyler.

 

Glad it worked

I've had good luck with Sharron Jones of Jones and Gold in Manhattan. She understands all of my camera assistant deductions pretty well.
