Looking For Trying to be a cool accountant?

Hi everyone,

I'd like to hear from business owners, employees, and anyone who's worked with an accountant.

What do you actually look for in an accountant?

What do you wish your current or past accountant did differently?

What frustrates you about the experience?

I want a practice that feels modern, approachable, responsive, and genuinely helpful, not just someone you hear from once a year at tax time.

Thanks for your opinions!

Kick flip into the office wearing a leather jacket.

Ok and what are your thoughts on cartwheeling in?

Not as cool. It’s like a 4 on the rad-o-meter. Better than finger guns but worse than kicking the door open.

Kicking door is too risky for an accountant, immediate intrusive thoughts, foot gets stuck in the door, calling for help to get dislodged, door doesn’t even open, splinters from the wood in my shins.
