Here's the link: Meet Mr Money Mustache
With accountants, it would be could to talk to 2 or 3. You want her to be competent, but you also want someone who you feel comfortable with.
I once had an accountant who was "too creative" for my comfort level, who pushed business and personal deductions for a home mortgage that added up to 110% of the actual cost. I found someone else by asking a friend who ran a small business. That relationship has lasted many years.
It may be good strategy to not lead with I just got a $800k windfall when you ask about fees. Perhaps say you need someone to do your business tax returns.
Also, start reading the /r/PersonalFinance Wiki. Getting that much money in a windfall you owe it to yourself to educate yourself on investing. Check out Windfall Wiki.
