CPAs & Accountants in New York: FAQs
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.
