Our experience with Orlando Accounting Solutions has been exceptional. Nadia is knowledgeable, professional and very responsive.

Not only does she handle our personal and business taxes, she's been a wealth of information soundly guiding us in the growth of our business. We could not be more pleased with Orlando Accounting Solutions and highly recommend this firm.
Nadia at OAS has been my tax accountant for a couple years now, and I've been quite happy with her services. She is friendly, helpful, and patient with my various tax-related questions. I appreciate the fact that she is "conservative" in her approach to taxes, i.e., erring on the side of caution when it comes to paying the correct amount of taxes. My taxes became complicated enough to require a professional, and Nadia is definitely that.
Nadia is everything I could possibly want in an accountant: knowledgeable, detail-oriented, responsive and friendly. She wildly exceeded my expectations, and has earned a client for life. I only wish I'd found her sooner. Total rock star! Highly recommended. A+++
I own a small business and it?s very important that I work with a CPA that I trust. Nadia and her staff is a very knowledgeable CPA firm with excellent customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a small business tax accountant!
My husband and I used her services to do his taxes one year when they were particularly complicated. She did a great job with them and simplified a very complex situation and even got us money back.
Nadia was professional and knowledgeable while also making sure everything was completed in a timely manner. Her service was outstanding and would definitely recommend her to others. Very pleased!!
The most honest and most efficient CPA I have ever met.
Living in the UK, found dealing with Nadia no problem
Thank you..!! Nadia you are a very kind and caring person
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.
