CPAs & Accountants: frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a CPA and an accountant?
All CPAs are accountants, but a CPA has passed the Uniform CPA Exam, met education and experience requirements, and holds a state license. CPAs can perform audits and represent you before the IRS; a general accountant cannot.
Do I need a CPA or can I use tax software?
Software works for simple W-2 situations. A CPA earns their fee once you have a business, rental property, equity compensation, multi-state income, or any audit risk — the tax savings usually exceed the cost.
How much does a CPA charge?
Expect $200–$700 for an individual return, $500–$2,500+ for business returns, and $150–$400/hr for advisory. Many small businesses use monthly packages from roughly $300–$800.
