CPAs provide accounting services and tax consultation for all of your private and business needs. In divorce this can be particularly important as certain investment accounts, property types, and other assets can have vastly different tax implications. Some tax situations can be so big they make a seemingly reasonable settlement into a complete nightmare for one or both spouses. A CPA will help you account for tax implications on all of your combined assets, and help you make informed decisions, minimize your tax liability, and plan for future tax issues.
CPAs can also aid other services listed here, from helping the business valuation professional, to helping your financial planner in planning for your future health, to helping your attorney argue your case through expert testimony about you tax situation. Of course there are tax and accounting software programs out there that can be some help as well, but they do not compare to a living, breathing, thinking professional who can anticipate your needs, think creatively to help you out of atypical situations, and guide you along the way.
