Full Service Accounting Firm FAQs
Do I need a business accountant for a very small business?
Keeping track of your small business finances can become complicated fast. A professional small business accountant can provide the guidance you need to simplify your accounts and offer strategic advice to help you reach your financial goals.
Do I need a small business accountant if I already have Xero?
Xero is a great tool for managing your business finances, but it still demands significant time and effort. By working with a small business accountant, you can reduce stress and focus on other essential aspects of running your business.
Do I need a business accountant as a sole trader?
It’s easy to think of hiring an accountant as an added expense, but strategic business accounting services can offer substantial returns. They not only free up your time but also manage tax responsibilities, uncover savings, implement risk management strategies, and support business growth.
Do I need a business accountant as a start-up?
Managing your business finances alone might seem like a practical choice, but it comes with challenges. You could miss tax-saving opportunities, struggle with invoicing, misjudge your tax bill, or make costly errors. Partnering with a business accountant helps reduce these risks and ensures your financial management runs smoothly.
How do I choose the right accountant for my business?
Finding the right accountant takes careful thought. Think about factors such as their location, how the workload will be divided, and which accounting software they use. It’s essential to choose a certified or chartered accountant with expertise that aligns with your business needs. Seeking recommendations from your business and social networks can also help you make the right choice.
How do I know if I need an accountant or a bookkeeper?
Bookkeepers handle essential financial tasks such as payroll, invoice management, transaction recording, and reconciliation. If your business requires frequent assistance with transactions, bookkeeping services could be beneficial. However, if you're looking for strategic financial guidance and a wider range of accounting services, an accountant may be the better option.
