CPAs are great for keeping the IRS off your back, but they can--and

should--do more than that. A competent CPA can help raise the value

of your company and be one of the best partners you can have.

According to a recent poll, most businesses change their CPAs two

or three times.  Are you one of them?  Learn all about

what your CPA should be doing to help your business. (Hint:

proactivity has a lot to do with it.) Scott Shields, founding

partner of Shields, Blice & Company CPAs in Fairlawn, Ohio

joins Jeff Allen for a discussion on this issue.
