I'm looking for an accountant. Any suggestions how to go about this?

I need someone to do my taxes and give me financial advice without a conflict of interest.

1. Well, since no one else offered a suggestion....

If it was me, i think i would talk to everyone i knew that used one and asked about that person. Networking.

I googled "Find a good accountant" ( http://www.google.com/search?q=find+a+good+accountant&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a )

and this website seemed to offer some good advice;
