Getting the right advice can make a difference of thousands of dollers to your bottom line or could even affect your very survival, so it is vitally important to get an accountant that's right for you.Some accountants seem to adopt the attitude that they are working for the taxation office (not you) and that it is their duty to see that you pay the maximum amount of tax possible. While it is their legal duty to make sure you pay the correct amount of tax, you certainly don't need someone who is going to create ways for you to pay more than you have to!
