With 600k in revenue why don't you just get a real accountant firm to take care of that for you?

My first attempt to find one blew up in my face. =(

I lived in LA at the time, so I looked for highly-rated local accountants on Yelp. The search led me to this one[1], who proceeded to make a series of nasty mistakes that led to a taxation authority seizing money from my bank account (among other problems). The whole mess took months of time and many thousands of dollars to clean up.

Later on, I settled on bench.co doing the bookkeeping, and found a CPA firm to prepare the taxes every year. It basically works, but it still feels archaic and clunky. Several people here suggested pilot, so I might look at that next.

If you have an accountant you'd like to recommend, I'd definitely be grateful!
