Not all tax professionals are created equal.
Every year, individuals and small businesses trust their financial future to someone who claims to "do taxes" but holds no professional license or accountability. At S&S CPA INC, we believe it's time to educate the public on why choosing a licensed CPA isn't just smart—it's essential.
What Is a CPA?
A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is a licensed professional who has:
Passed a rigorous multi-day exam
Completed 150+ hours of education
Undergone background and ethics checks
Is required to complete continuing education annually
CPAs are licensed and regulated by the state—we are held to legal, ethical, and professional standards that non-licensed preparers are not.
Who Can Prepare Taxes Without a CPA License?
Many people don’t know this, but anyone can legally prepare tax returns, even without:
A license
A degree in accounting
Any real qualifications
These individuals may offer cheap pricing, but:
They are not required to stay updated on tax law changes
They cannot represent you in front of the IRS
They may not carry professional liability insurance
Why Choosing a CPA Makes a Difference
Audit Support: CPAs can represent you before the IRS and state tax agencies
Tax Strategy: We go beyond data entry—we help you plan, save, and grow
Business Insight: CPAs help businesses with structure, cash flow, and long-term financial health
Trust: We are bound by state law, professional ethics, and continuing education
