Any relationship be it business or personal can fall a part and for various reasons. Most people will get a CPA and stick with them for years because historical knowledge and a personal relationship is valuable, and business like using the same one for similar reasons. But things arent always right for either side and there are times when it might be worth thinking about leaving your CPA.

Many people say that their CPA doesnt treat them right, and that can mean a number of things. IT can mean they dont think the CPA is current on tax laws that effect them or isnt creative enough in dealing with their finances. It can also mean that theres just a lack of the communication that is key to a good relationship. Some claim that their CPA ignores them. Very often however a client will call with so many small issues that CPAs to start to avoid the phone calls. Time is money. But CPAs can also take on bigger clients who consume much of their time and if a person is feeling slacked, then it may be time to find someone else. Then, theres the claim that CPAs fail to cooperate. What that usually means is that they are cutting enough corners or finding enough tax deductions. Some do assume a CPA is good by being able to save tax dollars for them, and there are times that isnt legally possible. But with a good client-CPA relationship, theres usually a meeting of the minds. Another complaint is when a client gets passed off to a younger or a training associate and gets less time from their original CPA. That is a true danger but one that can also be discussed. Sometimes, the younger ones are more current and end up being better CPAs.
