What kinds of clients do you work with?

A restaurant will have certain rules to follow for wages and tips, for instance, just as a construction business must deal with issues related to contract workers and a real estate development firm will have certain criteria about how income is reported. You need an accountant who has worked with other businesses like yours and knows the ins and outs of the industry.  During your initial call with Mark Bryant, CPA we will let you aks as many questions you need to determine if we are a good fit for you as a business person and your business.  We’ll also have a few questions of our own.  We have been told we are the best CPA Atlanta firm in creating a tailored made service plan and handling multiple sub files under one account.  So if you are self employed and own two businesses and a rental property and one of those businesses is an LLC – no problem.   We are experienced in a full range of business support services.

Are you available year round?
Some accounting firms shut their doors after April 15 and only reopen for the following tax season. But when you’re running a small business, you’re going to need help all year, says Melissa Labant, director of taxation at the American Institute of CPAs in New York. “If something comes up, you do not want to wait until tax season in order to get your issue addressed.”  Mark Bryant, CPA is a full time and full service CPA firm based in Atlanta, Georgia but has clients in many states around the country.  “Client’s businesses may physically move or expand, but the CPA relationship stays right here in Atlanta”, says Mark Bryant, CPA.  The key reason we believe you need a full time Atlanta based CPA firm is that tax time and the IRS is only part of the reason you need a CPA.  The other is that current and accurate financial information can really be important in making day to day business decisions and long term tax planning.
