The Most Undervalued Trait of an Accountant

When it comes to finding the best accountant for your business, it's not just about their expertise. If the people with the most expertise can't answer every question for every scenario (news flash: nobody knows it all), they aren't going to be able to help you be your best without a little help!

Connectivity is the secret superpower we need to value in accountants and financial professionals. I have a lot of expertise in many areas but nobody can be an expert in all areas. So when I have a question, I have a community of other accountants who can help.

I think it's worth asking your accountant "how well connected are you?" or "when you have questions who do you go to?" This will help you determine if they'll truly be ready for any situation.
