Should I consult a CPA if I am starting a new business?

It is imperative that you contact a CPA. You will need to discuss the organization of your company for tax purposes as well as numerous other issues relating to operations, not the least of which will be setting your target pricing and gross profit margins. Don’t wait until the end of the year-end to have this discussion. You could be making decisions without the proper advice, and that could wind up hurting you financially or legally.
