NEW YORK (AP) - Small business owners looking for lawyers or accountants need to approach their search with the same kind of care they'd use in hiring an employee — they need to be sure the professionals they hire are experienced enough to do the job and that they're a good fit with the company.
Many business owners and professionals believe the best way to come up with the right CPA or accountant is to get a referral from someone you trust. And, before you agree to work with a professional, ask plenty of questions and try to talk to other business owners who have experience with him or her.
Jeannette Boccini, a principal with LVM Group Inc., a New York-based public relations firm, said her company gets the names of accountants and lawyers either through networking or referrals, and then starts to research the professionals by interviewing their clients and reading their Web sites.
