The debate continues as different CPA’s have different takes on how business owners should interpret the new tax law. Why you need a CPA.This issue serves as a prime example to show ecommerce sellers why they need to have established a relationship with a CPA that they can trust.

If you only take your financial advice from what you hear or read online, pause! You need a CPA in your corner helping you through all the ins and outs. Don’t try to game the system.If you’ve been around the TAS community for very long, you know that Scott works hard to make sure that the advice he gives toes the ethical line.

While it may take more work and cause you to take the long route to success, keeping your business practices ethical will allow you to build something you can be proud of.
