Full Service Accounting Firm FAQs
Do I need a business accountant for a very small business?
Managing your own small business accounts can quickly become overwhelming. A skilled small business accountant can help you stay on top of your finances while providing tailored advice to support your financial goals.
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?
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?
Choosing an accountant is a crucial step for your business. Consider their proximity, how you will split financial tasks, and the accounting software they work with. Look for a certified or chartered accountant with experience in your industry, and don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations from your business and social circles.
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.
