> It's tempting to just get a good tax guy, but the taxes are not the hard part: it's the recordkeeping that categorizes which of your expenses are properly business expenses. It's not fair — or at least a bad idea — to drop off a box of receipts to your tax guy and have him try to read your mind. Good tax guys are not cheap, and you want to pay him to prepare your taxes, not do your bookkeeping.

This insight is gold. Seriously. Everyone thinks they want a rockstar accountant when what they really need is a bookkeeper (or to just organize their books in a systematic, consistent way).
