Small Business Attorney-CPA

All legal conversations with an Attorney-CPA are confidential. On the other hand, most conversations with a CPA are not confidential. All attorney/client confidentiality rules apply to your communications with an Attorney-CPA.

Generally, individuals who want advice and guidance from an attorney and a CPA must hire two people. Joseph Faulisi, Esq., CPA is both an attorney and a CPA; therefore, by hiring him, you avoid the need to hire two separate professionals. By working with Joseph, you don’t have to pay all the bills associated with accounting and tax advice from a CPA, only to turn around and pay another set of bills for legal advice from a tax attorney.

An Attorney-CPA can represent you in every possible situation. Contrast this with a CPA, who can’t represent you in every court and who may not be able to represent all your tax and accounting needs – especially when those needs cross over into areas of the law. 

A lot of overlap exists between the tax/accounting and legal worlds. A dually licensed Attorney-CPA is a superior choice, offering you a more complete range of services. This is due to the Attorney-CPA’s extensive education and rigorous testing, which has earned them licenses in both professions.    

When your attorney and CPA are two different people, in many instances one or the other might not want to explain certain issues outside their profession. For example, the attorney will not want to explain tax issues, while the CPA will not want to explain legal issues. The result is that these professionals push you back and forth, which leaves you frustrated.  

Starting a business can be stressful. Have a small business attorney help you navigate all the available business entity choices: 

• Sole Proprietorship;
• General Partnership;
• Limited Partnership (or LLP); 
• Corporation (or S-Corp);
• LLC (or PLLC). 

Start-ups inevitably require assistance interpreting agreements or contracts. As you begin your journey as a business owner, it is beneficial to have a Tax Attorney-CPA provide you with the proper tax and legal guidance, especially when you are facing tough business decisions.

Thinking about buying or selling a business? Make sure you understand all the tax and legal consequences associated with this sale or purchase.
