“In a very respectful way, we’re reaching out to frustrated individuals and businesses in San Francisco to ask them to consider whether their current CPA or accountant can truly handle their tax complexities,” explained Chun Wong, Managing Partner at Safe Harbor LLP. “This post to our blog invites people to ponder their CPA relationship and perhaps reach out to us for a second opinion or ‘reality check’ vis-a-vis their current accounting firm.”

A Booming Economy Means More Money and More Complexity

With San Francisco in economic growth mode, more and more people and businesses have high incomes, and with high incomes, tax complexity. While during the recession years of 2008-2009 and even during the recovery, many people hardly paid taxes at all, the new wealth of the city is pushing more and more people and businesses into higher tax brackets. Added to that is the complexity of the San Francisco technology scene; startups, in particular, face peculiar tax problems such as employee stock options and the impact of mergers and acquisitions. Similarly, many San Francisco residents have foreign assets and are subject to increasing IRS scrutiny. With both IRS audits and IRS tax compliance vis-a-vis foreign activity on the rise, many San Franciscans have simply outgrown their current CPA and are looking for a new one. The new blog post helps these residents and businesses look for signs that it may be time, at least, for a second opinion.
