Keeping you compliant and on track

When choosing an accountant, it’s important you find someone you can trust. Let’s be honest, some you will, some you won’t!

Most accountancy firms offer the same services, so how do you choose who to work with?

Here are some pointers which we hope will help:

  • 1. The relationship between you and your accountant needs to be built on mutual respect and complimentary knowledge:

    • You know your business better than anyone.
    • Your accountant should enhance this with their knowledge about finance and commercial operations.
  • 2. Industry knowledge helps – but it’s not the priority

    • Some industries require specialist accounting approaches, or at least an operational understanding, such as charities and schools, construction manufacturing and retail
    • But this knowledge is rarely more important than trust
  • 3. Is your accountant interested in your business?

    • With trust comes the genuine ability to work together and an interest in your business and what you do is key for this.
  • 4. If you’re working off a checklist, your accountant will need to help you with the following, as we can:
