How do you choose an accountant?

So this will be the first year that Im filing married and we'd like to have a CPA do our taxes in order to, OK I wont lie, keep as much money away from the government as possible. Is there anything specific you look for in finding a CPA?

Find out what accountant or accounting firm the local mob bosses use and then hire them.

it is every american's duty to make sure that they pay the least amount of taxes possible within the law. nothing to be ashamed of. the government isn't a charity.
