What I would personally look for

• Experience managing 1099 contractors
• Ability to prepare clean monthly financial statements
• Someone who can work independently without requiring constant oversight

I would choose an excellent bookkeeper with strong QuickBooks skills over a CPA for this role. A CPA can be retained separately for tax planning and annual filings, while the bookkeeper/accountant keeps the business organized throughout the year. This is usually the most cost-effective approach for a growing company like One Mile Productions.
