Bilal and his team are some of the kindest and most knowledgable folks to work with. They make me feel like family and yet always guide me on the right path to my financial success. It is a very rare combination to have - extreme knowledge and humility that touches not just hearts, but souls. Bilal always helps plan ahead and provides not one but many ways that can suit the client needs to save for a rainy day and build a better future for ourselves and children of tomorrow. I wish nothing but the best for

My experiences with Mehanna CPAs & Advisors have always been outstanding. The team is knowledgeable and handle my case in a professional manner. They have helped file my taxes and have been competent at helping me with other tax related matters. I am so pleased with the service of this firm that they have become the premier destination for all my tax needs.

5-star service! Bilal is very responsive and helpful all the way. I have little to no knowledge about accounting and he made sure my business is well taken care of. He is just a message away with any question that I have and I commend that he really cares for my business. Highly recommended!

Over the last 15 months, Bilal helped me to restructure how I paid myself through my businesses, and guided me in implementing a much more sophisticated tax planning strategy. He has already saved me thousands of dollars in taxes compared to my previous tax professional. Highly recommended.

I had a relatively complex tax return and Mr. Mehanna guided me in the right direction. His help, expertise and willingness to go above and beyond with communication saved me tena of thousands in taxes. A lot of accountants act like tax preparers and want to just rubber stamp a return and have a mass production operation. Essentially they want to charge you for what you could do with Turbotax and Quickbooks Bilal comes across as taking pride in his work. He doesn't just want to get it done, he wants to ge

Bilal was super easy to work with and had tons of ideas going forward. We got him our info and he had our return done in days with more savings than the year before. He will be filling amendments for us as there were obvious (to him) misses from previous years. YOU WILL SAVE MONEY WITH THIS FIRM! He has our business for years to come. Thanks, Bilal.

I highly recommend Bilal Mehanna from Mehanna CPAs firm. He is very knowledgeable and always available to answer any questions or concerns.

Thank you for all your advice!

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

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.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

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.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

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.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

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.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

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.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

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.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

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.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

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.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

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.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

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.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

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.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

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.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

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.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

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.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

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.
