How does one find a good tax accountant? I used to use one who cost around $1200/yr, but I lost trust in him for various reasons, so I do my own with TurboTax Home & Business. Probably not a good use of my time (takes 1-2 days per year), moderately complex taxes with multiple K-1s, LLC filings, home office deduction, but otherwise normal stuff like W-2s/1099s/standard deduction (not itemized).

When I search google or yelp results, it's hard for me to judge who is going to be competent and also reasonabily priced.

How did people find their accountant?

Found one at a conference for small business, used him for a few years, then switched to another that came and did a small presentation/Q&A at our local coworking space. Couple of us switched to him and his firm has been fine.

Word of mouth recommendations from colleagues helps, but I would assume you've asked around some already?
