I am looking for a QuickBooks expert/accountant local in Indianapolis that I could meet with to assist me with closing my books in preparation for taxes.  All books are up to date and balanced.  Need to perform year-end closing activities including depreciation entry, equity adjustments and closing the books for 2016.  Any leads of a good resource at a reasonable price would be appreciated.

@Jim Kennedy Is a great CPA with a lot of great information. I just spoke with him today and he was very knowledgeable about his craft and answering my questions.

Good Luck!

 Dan,

I wouldn't want to be specifically tied to a specific location as you never know what the future brings you. You want someone who knows what they are doing more than anything. 
You definitely need someone qualified, does not have to be a CPA, could be an Enrolled Agent or an attorney. Just make sure they specialize in tax and have significant experience dealing with real estate investors.

Here is a great list of questions to ask a potential accountant: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/70447-questions-to-ask-a-cpa

Also check out the www.NAEA.org page in your search. It should help you find someone local. If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.

If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.

For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone. I even use Skype and TeamViewer to communicate with clients so I'd highly recommend looking for one of the best with great references that interviews well with you.

So look for someone you can connect with that works out for your situation.

Feel free to ask here if you have questions
