Accountants are more than just Tax Time Assistants

When most people think of accountants, they think of people who help with tax return preparation. While accountants certainly do help with tax returns, it’s important to understand that they actually do a whole lot more as well. Did you know, for example, that many accountants can act as financial advisors of sorts?

If, for example, you’re having a hard time making ends meet, despite bringing in (at least on paper) more than enough, you may need a little help with budgeting and with determining where your money is going vs where it should be going. In that situation, an accountant could help you to set and stick to a smart, workable budget for your lifestyle and goals.  

An accountant could also help you to invest money in smart places, to keep better track of your financial records, and more. Good accountants will even recommend you to other financial professionals as needed. In other words, accountants are wonderful resources, not just for tax return preparation, but for your financial needs as a whole. For a great accountant in Naperville, contact Susan S. Lewis, Ltd.
