According-to the Taxpayer Advocate Service on the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), "92% of audit adjustments were found on returns prepared by non-credentialed professionals" . This means that getting your taxes done by a credentialed financial professional is not merely important, but critical, to getting your taxes done correctly.
For businesses, tax preparation is not, and should not be considered, a 'one-off' event. It is, instead, important that a business establish a relationship with a professional tax preparer, as doing so presents an opportunity for value-creation through ever-more efficient problem-solving, which happens with maturation of the relationship.
