  1. Do you have an accounting designation?
  2. Do you have a legacy designation, if so, which one? (CA, CMA or CGA – I recommend always working with a Chartered Accountant (CA))
  3. What is your fee structure?
  4. What experience do you have in my industry?
  5. How many clients do you have?
  6. Do you have a pro-active tax planning approach?
  7. Do you offer cloud accounting in Toronto?
  8. Do you specialize in small business accounting?
  9. Can I call you any time with questions?

The entire list is very important to know, but in addition to the above list, it is important to simply mesh and be comfortable with the accountant.
