What do you look for in a CPA?

[Richie Stephenson]

Hey everyone! I'm a CPA in the Pittsburgh, PA area working for a mid-size accounting firm. One of our main industries is of course real estate (personal investing, real estate development companies, as well as construction). I do my own personal investing as well so I feel like that helps me better connect with clients, but I was wondering if there are any specific things you look when working with a CPA? With it being in the middle of tax season, I figured now would be a great time to ask since it seems like relationships with CPAs are either fantastic or awful at this point of the year. Thanks for any help you can give me to help me better serve my clients!
