    I'm going to need an accountant for the coming years taxes.

    Does anyone have someone they can recommend? Even if you PM me that's fine.

    Also to just prepare my taxes for the trucking business itself for a one truck owner operator what's a reasonable rate to pay the accountant?

    You could try doing most of it yourself

    I paid an accountant back when I had my own truck. So I can't say I did my own taxes but then I have to pay the accountant for their time.

    I would talk with other owners in your area and see who they use. It’s nice to be able to sit down face to face with your accountant and discuss strategies for your business.

    I use a local person where I live in Oregon. She does payroll and bookkeeping for me @ $200 a month. Sorry she only does local.
