Working with an accountant
Do I need an accountant for an LLC?
Short answer
No, an LLC is not legally required to have an accountant, but most benefit from one. Multi-member LLCs file a partnership return with K-1s, and many owners should consider an S-Corp election once profit grows. An accountant makes sure the right return is filed and the right tax structure is used.
