Why CPAs in Maine are better online

If you use a CPA for expert tax advice and to help prepare your taxes, you're probably used to searching your home office for all your receipts and tax records and dragging yourself across town to a brick and mortar CPA's office. If you've kept good records like spreadsheets and other recorded data, your CPA would spend several hours (also if you're lucky) going over everything with you. Then you would emerge into the daylight with a big bill for your CPA's services, and the CPA would file your taxes. You would spend the next couple weeks hoping that you would get a refund that would be at least enough to cover the CPA's bill. But times have changed, and it doesn't have to be that way anymore. Thanks to digital technology and just about everything being done online, you can find tax services in Maine online and have an even better experience with an expert who is well-versed in Maine CPA services. This is probably no surprise, since we can now order just about anything on the internet, talk to our loved ones 1,000 miles away, and start a small business online with almost no start-up cash. But it may not yet be common knowledge that you don't have to keep records manually using spreadsheets or keep your receipts for every single business purchase. In fact, there's an app that uses a powerful A.I. to track your expenses and catch every possible tax write-off. When tax time comes, all of your information is stored in the app, so there's no need to keep records manually. FlyFin's CPA team has your back with unlimited tax advice in the app, instead of costly consultations with CPA firms in Maine. Their 100+ combined years of tax knowledge on the system in Maine is combined with CPA services in Maine that pertain to the needs of self-employed individuals of all types, plus knowledge about LLCs, S-Corporations, sole proprietorships and other business structures.
