ACCOUNTING AND THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNER

‘‘A good accountant is the most important outside
advisor the small business owner has,’’ according
to the Entrepreneur Magazine Small Business Advisor.
‘‘The services of a lawyer and consultant are vital
during specific periods in the development of a small
business or in times of trouble, but it is the accountant
who, on a continuing basis, has the greatest impact on
the ultimate success or failure of a small business.’’
