Use a Licensed CPA to Prepare Your Taxes

On Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s website, they remind the public  that it’s tax season, and at DBPR they work with the Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants (FICPA) to remind people that before they hire a certified public accountant, they should check to make sure that person has a state license. Unlicensed certified public accounting activity not only takes jobs away from licensed Florida professionals, it can also cause serious financial harm to consumers.
The DBPR works to educate the public about the importance of using licensed professionals. Florida state licenses for certified public accountants, can be checked at the Florida license website. Make sure to check before you hire a CPA this tax season.
Also, CPA’s, make sure your license is current and in good standing.  Remember, your license is your livelihood.
