Full Service Accounting Firm FAQs
Do I need a business accountant for a very small business?
Trying to self-manage the accounts for a small business can quickly become complex and overwhelming. An expert small business accountant can assist you in keeping track of your business' finances and help you work towards your financial goals with tailored advice.
Do I need a small business accountant if I already have Xero?
Xero is a useful tool when it comes to DIY business accounting, but it still requires a lot of time and effort from you as a small business owner. Investing in a small business accountant can alleviate your stress and allow you to spend more time doing other important tasks.
Do I need a business accountant as a sole trader?
Hiring an accountant often seems like a luxury. But using business accounting services at the right time and in the right way can yield significant returns. Not only will they save you a lot of time, but they can also keep control of your tax obligations, identify savings, incorporate risk management, and help you grow your business.
Do I need a business accountant as a start-up?
It might feel like you should do your financial management yourself rather than outsourcing. However, DIY business accounting can mean missing out on tax breaks, falling behind in invoicing, underestimating your tax bill, making mistakes, or not having the right information to help you make informed decisions. Having a business accountant can reduce the extra risks and costs involved in business accounting.
How do I choose the right accountant for my business?
Choosing the right accountant requires careful consideration. You should think about the accountant's location, the division of workload, and the type of accounting software you will use. Make sure to choose a certified or chartered accountant and look for one with expertise relevant to your business. Your business and social networks may also be helpful in suggesting the right firm or accountant.
How do I know if I need an accountant or a bookkeeper?
A bookkeeper can help you run your payroll, keep day-to-day records, issue and chase up invoices, and record and reconcile transactions. If you need help with transactions every day or several times a month, then you may need bookkeeping services. On the other hand, if you need someone to offer a variety of business accounting services and advice then an accountant may be right for you.
