Perform a general search of NV accountants and accounting firms

Every Nevada accounting firm is not full-service. Some specialize in different aspects of accounting such as estate planning or bookkeeping and others handle the full range of small business accounting requirements.

I recommend: The Nevada Society of Certified Public Accountants offers a free search capability to help you find an accountant in your area that meets your needs. The CPA finder website is another good search option to search Nevada CPA listings. Finally, the Accountants World website is a great tool to do a directory search of Nevada CPA firms.

Research the credentials of the accountants in Nevada that you are considering

Make sure that the Nevada CPAs that you are considering are professional and legit. A smart way to check this is by their affiliation with local and national accounting associations as well as the status of their professional license. Just one negative review is a red flag that you should precede with caution if you decide to move forward.

I recommend: The Nevada Board of Accountancy has a search feature on their homepage where you can verify the license of Las Vegas accounting firms as well as those of firms throughout the rest of the state. Etaking verifies the licenses of participating accounting professionals and lists them on their website. CPA directory is another option to check licensing information on specific business accountants in Nevada.

Choose Nevada CPA firms that meet the unique needs of your company

Your business has special accounting needs and not all firms offer all services. It is important to find one that will fit the best with everything that is important to your organization: integrity, experience and professionalism.

I recommend: A firm specializing in bookkeeping can assist with setting up an accounting system to help with payroll, accounts payable and accounts receivable. DidaVa.com, LLC is one example, serving the areas of Las Vegas and Henderson. Carson Valley Accounting which serves the Gardnerville, Reno and Carson City areas, offers tax and financial planning services. Berkley, Berkley & Andrews CPAs is another firm in Las Vegas that offers tax services. For a firm that specializes in the needs of small companies, you may consider Numbers, etc. located in Las Vegas who services the areas of Henderson and the Las Vegas valley. If you want a well-known firm with locations around the world that serves companies of all sizes and industries, Deloitte LLP is a wise choice and they have offices in Las Vegas and Reno.
