(more) Cash flow is crucial to business success. It is a critical factor that can make or break a business. When faced with a cash flow challenge there are several key financial drivers that can help companies to better understand and enhance their cash flow position. While each driver provides unique information, a more wholistic analysis of all drivers can help you to identify areas to improve cash flow, reduce financial waste, and make smarter, strategic business decisions.

(more) Hi Kaye, our firm recently joined Alignable.  Upon seeing your question I thought that you may benefit from the following information.   Best regards,  Rick Crosswhite  Certified public accountants or CPAs are accountants who have passed qualifying state exams and met specific education and experience requirements for that title. Not all CPAs are experts on income taxes, though, so when looking for someone to prepare your return, you'll want to ask about the CPA's experience in handling individual taxes. A benefit of going with a CPA is these financial pros may be able to help you with other financial situations like estate planning or financial planning in addition to doing your taxes. Enrolled agent or EA is a tax professional licensed by the IRS through a special enrollment exam or after working for the IRS for five years. EAs may specialize in specific tax areas, so be sure to ask what his or her area of expertise is. The benefit of using an enrolled agent is that these people live and breathe taxes (they're required to take continuing education courses in taxes every three years). As an additionally note, the tax preparers at BAS Accounting Services are experts in tax preparation and are both CPAs and EAs.
