A good accountant?

accounting ledgerWith an eye to the future, Ewan emails:

We're thinking that it might be good for at least one year to get some professional tax advice. Has anyone had a good experience with a local tax-oriented CPA?

Any suggestions for Ewan? Please share!

Disclaimer - I'm biased because they're my employer, but I don't make money on referrals, or anything, they're just a great group of accountants - Marvin and Company in Latham: www.marvincpa.com. Great group of people, completely willing to work with you on anything, quick turn-around time (and their admin staff's pretty awesome, too, or so I hear...) :)

We really like this one - a mother/daughter owned and operated business.

Colleen Campoli, CPA in Schen. Shes great!

I highly recommend Steve Constantine who is with Staff Ciampino and Company. www.staffciampino.com (Colvin Ave, Albany)

If your annual income is under $50,000, you can get free tax advice and guidance from IRS-certified volunteers through your local United Way. You can call 211 and they'll hook you up with a tax advice/preparation site.

I know a local banking executive who became a volunteer for this program just to learn more about doing her own taxes. They need about 300-400 volunteers each year--just sayin'.

Dave Wojeski at Wojeski & Co. in East Greenbush.

Mike Ryan from Slocum, Deangelis & Assoc. on Albany Shaker Road.

I am biased also as I used to work for him, but Dave Jordan of Jordan and Savoy CPA's on upper Hoosick St. in Troy is a very good accountant with a huge amount of experience.
