Why should that advisor be a CPA?

CPAs, by licensing requirement, have a wide range of accounting and tax experience, and so, can evaluate a financial situation with an eye on details and how they fit into the big picture.

CPAs are required to attend continuing professional education courses throughout their careers – approved courses to stay current with the latest accounting and tax changes.

CPAs MUST adhere to certain accounting standards. They are likely to carry professional liability insurance and are subject to oversight by a state governmental body you can complain to if things go wrong.

CPAs are recognized as authorized representatives to practice before the Internal Revenue Service.

CPAs are consistently chosen by the general public as the professionals that have the highest level of integrity.
