Certified Public Accountants
Keeping our money straight can be a terrifying prospect to many people — the meticulous attention to detail required can be daunting, to say the least. And if we’re not careful enough, we can face an audit, and nobody wants that headache. But soaring in like the Batman of bookkeeping to save us all from financial misadventures are Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), those fearless heroes who know more about financial law than most can dream of. W hether providing ser vices for individuals, organizations, or certain types of businesses, or working exclusively for a corporation, these POWER PLAYERS can operate in virtually any area of finance — from estate or financial planning, to auditing or income tax services, to venture capitalism.
