Which option truly fits your business and what do you actually need right now?
Accountable is a digital tax solution built for freelancers who want to manage their bookkeeping and tax returns themselves. With smart guidance and automation and without committing to ongoing, high advisory fees.
A tax advisor handles your bookkeeping, financial statements, and tax filings for you personally, and provides individual advice, typically as part of a long-term professional relationship.
