Digital Ad Cast has been a fantastic business partner. I hired a Digital Ad Cast Virtual Assistant 3 months ago to teach me to use Highlevel and help launch my Highlevel SaaS business. Today, we have accomplished everything I wanted and exceeded my expectations. I'm thrilled with my VA and plan to hire additional VAs soon. If you are looking for a VA trained on the Highlevel platform, I highly recommend giving Digital Ad Cast a try.
One of the best online free trainings you can find on the internet. Trainer Amjad Akhtar has everything on his tips and he always encourages everyone to speak and share their views. He gave me tremendous confidence about myself and what I knew. It is great for your professional as well as personal grooming. I would love to be a part of their future trainings too
I wanted to get a professional training so I explored various online learning options. Finally I came across Digital Ad Cast. They teach with great hard work and professionalism. I knew nothing about Digital Marketing a couple of months ago and now I am an expert.
They train you absolutely free. They run Facebook Ads for your job at their expense and they make sure that every student of their academy gets placed with one of their clients. Great experience indeed.
They give personalized attention to every student and make sure that they do not move forward until everyone completely understands. I had a great learning experience with them and I strongly recommend Digital Ad Cast.
I am thankful to Digital Ad Cast LLC for giving me a tremendous opportunity to learn and improve my technical skills and that too for free.
I had a great Experience with them. Weldone and keep it up
No one calls me back. Very unprofessional.
Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
