Tax Advisor

A tax advisor is just like it sounds: someone who advises you on taxes. Tax advisors basically understand a second language: the language of tax jargon, all the boxes and numbers on those tax forms, and most importantly, the rules of tax accounting. Hiring a tax advisor is akin to hiring a translator—a financial translator.

Tax advisor is an umbrella term that can include Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), enrolled agents, tax attorneys, and financial advisors. Tax advisors not only make sure everything is squared away correctly with your taxes, but also tries to get you the best deal possible, taking advantage of tax rules so that you can pay less taxes. What a beautiful language, indeed.
