Use an Accountant or Accounting Software?
Accounting software does not replace an accountant for ensuring that your business adheres to legal and accepted accounting and tax practices. But, when you use accounting software, you take every day accounting tasks out of the hands of an accountant, which saves money for a small business.

Good any accounting software will have the reports you need to give to your accountant on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis. Either the reports can be printed or they can be delivered securely to an accountant electronically.

Ask your accountant what reports are needed and be sure you can generate them with the accounting software you are considering.
