Getting a Certified Public Accountant

1. Identify your needs.

Are you looking for help on:
• Answering summons from the BIR?
• Tax compliance and planning?
• An audit or review of financial statements?
• A business valuation?
• Setting up your business?

Identifying your most pressing concern helps determine what kind of service you need. In getting a CPA, a great fit would be someone whose expertise matches your requirements. It would also be preferable to get an accounting firm since it has the resources to serve you better.

2. Ask for referrals.

Seek out referrals from those you trust. Ask friends, business associates, and other professionals. However, proceed with caution – just because someone knows of a good CPA doesn't mean that the he or she is the proper fit for you.

You must also get a CPA who is duly accredited with the following:
• Board of Accountancy (BOA)
• Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)
• Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
• Cooperative Development Authority (CDA)

3. Make a list of your concerns.

When you meet with a CPA, ask how he or she has assisted others who have similar circumstances as you. A good CPA should be able to provide examples but is careful enough not to reveal specific client transactions or other confidential data.

Depending on your requirements, does the CPA have the means to go to your office? Are you willing to pay for his or her out-of-pocket expenses if the location is far? Are you able to commit to the solutions he or she has proposed? These are some of the things that you need to consider first.

4. Observe your interaction.

How does he or she communicate?
• Does he or she lay things out in an organized and understandable format?
• Does he or she prefer e-mail, phone, or in-person meetings?
• How does he or she respond to your questions?

Because the CPA will be dealing with your company's confidential information, it is important that you are comfortable, that a rapport is present, even before a contract is signed. Is he or she professional and enthusiastic about having you as a potential client?
