Can anyone tell me how they found an accountant that was knowledgable in the adult entertainment industry in Florida? Tampa, FL to be exact. I'm stating to dance fulltime (I use to do it just for extra cash here and there, but always had another job) and would like to do it professionally. I want to be able to put my money in the bank, buy things on credit, you know- be able to spend my money without being "shady" and not worry about "the man" coming after me. Just basically get a career started and savings started. Basically, I want to be an honest stripper making an honest living. Anyways, I'm a little-no-scratch that- waaaaay dumb when it comes to paying taxes. How do I go about finding a reliable accountant? I need help when it comes to paying my taxes and writting things off and whatnot, but I don't want to be taken for a ride. Should I just look in the phonebook? Is there a good website I can go to to do a refrences check? About how much do you ladies pay your accountants? I am just really scared I have no idea how to get started!

Any advice would be great! Thank you in advance!
