A real accountant is not just a tax preparer. Almost anyone, if they take the time, can prepare taxes. If your business is growing, you might find it helpful to have someone to give advice on how to proceed with financial structure of your business. There are organized ways of running a business, and some accountants will get into the act of helping you do this. Of course, that will cost you some money, so talk to a number of prospects, or get referral from someone in business of your size. Doesn't necessarily have to be someone experienced with lawn business, because general structure of business is similar for all business.
In today's heady economy, it is easy to blow off calculated decisions, because most everyone is making money no matter how poorly they are organized. A GOOD accountant will usually save you money, even after their fee.
