There comes a point when most freelancers wonder if (and when) they should find a good accountant.

It's an important decision. And there's much more to it than finding someone to do your taxes.

But when is the right time to look? Where do you start your search? What should you look for when evaluating potential accountants?

My guest for this episode is Jason Blumer of Blummer CPAs — a firm that works with creative professionals and agencies. In this talk, Jason answers all these questions (and more!). And he gives you a framework and a set of criteria for making smarter decisions about your finances AND searching for the right accountant.
