To this day, every time Tom speaks at a seminar, he still gets asked the same question over and over again: “How do I find a good tax advisor?”
There is a reason Tom gets asked this question so often.
It’s because it’s one of the most important questions you can ask. For better or worse, your tax advisor will significantly impact your financial goals. The wrong tax advisor can cost you big time.
Remember: “It’s not how much your tax preparer charges you that matters; it’s how much your tax preparer costs you.”
So, what are the characteristics of a good tax advisor?
- Fully educated about the tax law
- Passionate about reducing your taxes
- Embraces the law as an opportunity
- Focuses on permanent tax savings
- Uses creativity in applying the law in your favor
- Considers the entire law when reducing taxes, not just a single rule of the law
- Has a network of other tax advisors to consult
- Follows a systematic approach to reducing taxes
- Cares more about you than himself or herself
- Asks you questions about your specific situation
- Willing to teach you the tax rules
Remember that, ultimately, only you can reduce your taxes. You must learn enough about how the tax law applies to you to benefit from it every minute of every day.
Be sure to find a tax advisor who is willing (and able) to teach you the rules you need to know in order to reduce your taxes.
