Decision guide
When to hire a CPA vs. a bookkeeper
A bookkeeper records the past. A CPA shapes the future — taxes, structure, strategy.
Hire a bookkeeper when…
- •You need day-to-day transaction categorization and bank reconciliations
- •You want monthly financials but no tax filings or planning
- •Revenue is under ~$500K and your structure is simple (sole prop / single-member LLC)
- •You already have a CPA for taxes and just need clean books
Hire a CPA when…
- •You're filing business taxes (S-corp, C-corp, partnership)
- •You need tax planning, entity restructuring, or multi-state filings
- •You received an IRS or state tax notice or are facing an audit
- •You're raising capital, selling a business, or doing equity comp planning
- •Your books are a mess and you need cleanup plus a long-term advisor
Before you sign
Questions to ask any Cheyenne CPA before hiring
Use this checklist on your first call. Strong CPAs welcome these questions.
- Are you a licensed CPA in this state? What's your license number?
- What industries do you specialize in, and how many clients like me do you serve?
- Who actually does the work — you, a staff accountant, or an offshore team?
- How do you bill — hourly, fixed-fee, or monthly retainer? What's typical for my size?
- What software do you use (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite), and do I get access to my files?
- How do you handle IRS notices or audits if they come up later?
- What's your response-time expectation during and outside of tax season?
- Can you provide references from clients in my industry?

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about CPAs in Cheyenne
How much does a CPA cost in Cheyenne?
Cheyenne CPAs charge $175–$325/hour, individual returns $250–$750, and small-business returns $950–$3,000. Wyoming has no state income tax, so most engagements focus on federal returns, entity holding-company planning, and ranch or energy-specific issues.
Why do so many out-of-state owners form Wyoming LLCs?
Wyoming offers strong charging-order protection, no state income tax, low annual fees ($60 minimum), and anonymous ownership filings. Cheyenne CPAs and registered-agent firms specialize in holding-company structures for non-residents.
Do I owe Wyoming income tax if I work remotely from Cheyenne?
No — Wyoming has no personal income tax. Federal withholding still applies, and if you work for an out-of-state employer, your state of residence determines state income tax exposure (often none for full-time Wyoming residents).
