Looking for a CPA who can help navigate through the tax season!

I see lots of posts about trying to do this as a way of circumventing taxes, but nothing about doing it as a way to increase W-2 income.

Is there anything tax related I have to take care of before the next tax season, or can I just open the necessary accounts and get started?
