Answer 1 :
It would depend. If the Lawyer did a good job as a lawyer, I might pay for his accounting skills, but if he wasn't I wouldn't. It would also depend on whether these skills were related at all. For example, if you hire someone to put your business online, you would be more likely to also trust him with advertising it online, than you would for say his dental skills.
Answer 2 :
Treat them as separate jobs for your accounting purposes. As a consultant, I cover computer systems, business systems, training, coaching and mentoring. I also do classes, web pages, web content, technical documentation, business plans, database design and implementation, curriculum development, assessment preparation, network design and installation, set up servers and workstations. manage a business for a client, prepare the business for sale, and a lot more. I'm better than most experts in every one of them. So, quite often, I'll do a number of contracts with one business, in more than one of these capacities. I expect to be paid for each and every one of them.
Answer 3 :
To be honest, qualifying and actually knowing what you're doing are two different things. Mainly if they know exactly what they are doing then by all means. Lawyers a normally very well aware of the laws they need to follow even when doing taxes, no pun intended. Just make sure you get a contract that states that any misrepresentation they will be liable for all or a part of the taxes if you get audited.
Answer 4 :
It depends. If one person who can be qualified in both areas and have the skills needed in both area. Be might be save and convenient to employ only one. Since when we have the problem to consult, that person will look the problem in every viewpoint and help us decide better. He is qualified to get more money but it might be cheaper to employ only one.
