Accounting Review from Dmitrii Legetskii
This company helped us set up our accounting system from beginning to end. I am a serial entrepreneur with experience working with many different accounting groups and this one has been the most responsive overall. They have helped us with registering the business, putting together payroll, and getting our quarterly tax returns filed. They have been also very helpful with giving personal tax advice. I would recommend them to any other friends and especially other business owners.

Frequently Asked Questions About Accountants in NYC
When should I consider hiring an accountant in NYC?
Hire an accountant once your finances become too complex, time-consuming, or risky to manage alone. If you’re starting or restructuring a business, dealing with NYC and New York State tax obligations, filing multi-income or multi-state returns, or managing significant deductions, you will need an accountant's help.
According to IRS data, every small business faces audit and penalty risks that rise with revenue and payroll complexity, making professional oversight critical. An accountant is especially valuable when you’re scaling revenue, hiring employees or contractors, raising capital, or preparing for audits.
How much does it cost to hire an NYC accountant?
The price of hiring an accountant in New York City ranges between $150 and $400 per hour, according to multiple online reports. Agencies also charge flat fees, which can range from $500 to $1500, depending on the financial services.
What should I look for when hiring an accounting firm?
Prioritize credentials, industry experience, and technology adoption. NYC accounting firms with licensed CPAs reduce compliance risk and stay up to date with changing tax laws, accounting tools, and technologies. According to a survey, 71% of accounting firms report that advanced tech adoption directly improves client profitability, enabling faster reporting and fewer errors. Look for experience in your industry and services that match your growth stage, including tax, payroll, forecasting, and advisory, so you don’t need to switch firms when your needs expand.
Communication, retention, and transparent pricing are also essential. According to a survey, high-performing firms maintain 75-85% client retention (vs. ~60-70% for smaller or less established firms), signaling service quality and reliability. Clear pricing, whether hourly, flat-fee, or retainer, prevents surprises and improves long-term value. Firms that explain financials clearly and respond quickly help leaders make faster, better decisions.
What certifications should an accountant in NYC have?
The most important credential for an accountant is the Certified Public Accountant (CPA). They can prepare tax returns, perform audits and attestations, handle financial reporting, and represent clients in many compliance situations. Another key tax-focused credential is the Enrolled Agent (EA), an IRS-issued certification that emphasizes tax expertise and allows representation before the IRS.
Accountants typically have the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) credentials for strategic financial management and corporate accounting, and the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) credentials for internal audit and compliance work. Firms serving niche needs may also value specialty certifications like Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) or Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA).
What is the difference between an accounting firm and a CPA firm?
An accounting firm provides bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, and financial reporting services. It employs accountants with varying credentials, but they are not required to have licensed CPAs on staff. Accounting firms typically cannot perform audits, reviews, or attestations, and their ability to represent clients before the IRS may be limited depending on staff credentials.
A CPA firm employs one or more licensed Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and is authorized by the state (New York State Education Department). Only a CPA firm can legally perform audits, reviews, and attest services, required by lenders, investors, and regulators. According to the AICPA, audits and attest engagements are restricted exclusively to CPAs, making CPA firms essential for higher-risk, compliance-driven, or growth-stage businesses.
