What is the actual title of your "accountant"? I ask because that can be a pretty broad category. Are you going to H&R Block, Liberty Tax, or one of the other pop-up tax prep shops? Is this a bookkeeper who does a few returns for spending money? Is your person an enrolled agent? Is your person a CPA? If a CPA, is their primary business low-income individuals, small to medium-size businesses, larger corporations, or high net worth individuals? Is your person a tax-specialized lawyer?
I don't know how best to find one, but you are going to want a professional (NOT Liberty Tax and their ilk) who specializes in your sort of situation.
When you find one, you need to tell them that you want to find ways to minimize your tax burden, even including saving more in tax-exempt and tax-deferred accounts. I have had many higher-income clients (at OldJob) who would benefit so much from putting just $10K a year more into a 401(k), but I couldn't convince them to increase their contributions. It seemed like almost no one was willing to stop collecting expensive cars/taking overseas vacations/gambling to improve their tax (and savings) situation. A lot of people would ask if we could get their taxes lower, but all they really were willing to do was keep better records of their charitable donations and gambling losses to offset gambling winnings. -_-
