Hire an accountant when the question is structural rather than day-to-day: incorporating, changing your legal structure, being selected for an enquiry or audit, or working out residency and cross-border treaty positions across more than one country. Those calls need a qualified human who will sign off on the answer and carry professional responsibility for it. The same is true for your final filing if your affairs are anything other than straightforward.
