If you’re frustrated with your current accountant—or starting to feel like something’s off—you’re not alone.

We’ve talked to business owners and individuals across Tamarac who say things like:

  • “They’re impossible to reach.”

  • “I get different answers every time I ask a question.”

  • “I’m not even sure who actually filed my return.”

Whether it’s a lack of communication, vague explanations, or just a gut feeling that you’re not getting the service you deserve, switching accountants is more common (and more important) than people think.

But before you move on—make sure you’re not jumping from one bad situation to another.

5 Signs It’s Time to Make a Change

1. You’ve received IRS letters—and your accountant didn’t explain them clearly.

If your “tax professional” disappears the moment a CP2000 or penalty notice shows up, that’s not a relationship—it’s a liability.

2. You’ve never been offered tax planning.

If your accountant only shows up during tax season, they’re not helping you optimize—they’re just recording history.

👉 Here’s what proactive tax planning actually looks like.

3. You’ve been passed around to multiple people.

If your questions get bounced between 3–4 names, or you don’t even know who’s doing the work—it’s time to step back and reassess.

4. You’re doing most of the follow-up.

Your accountant should be contacting you to avoid missed deadlines and issues—not the other way around.

5. Your gut says something isn’t right.

If you’re second-guessing the quality of the work or how your taxes were filed, you’re probably not wrong.

🎯 What to Look for in a Better Firm

If you’re switching, don’t just go with the next ad or highest review count. Ask questions like:

  • Will I work with the same person year-round?

  • Do you help with IRS letters and notices?

  • Do you offer tax planning—not just preparation?

  • Can I access documents securely online?

  • Are you based in South Florida or outsourcing the work?

If the answers are vague or overly polished, walk away.
