Full Service Accounting Firm FAQs
Do I need a business accountant for a very small business?
Handling small business accounts on your own can be challenging and time-consuming. With the support of an expert small business accountant, you can confidently manage your finances and receive personalised advice to help you achieve your financial goals.
Do I need a small business accountant if I already have Xero?
While Xero simplifies business accounting, it still takes time and effort to manage properly. Partnering with a small business accountant can free up your schedule, reduce stress, and let you concentrate on growing your business.
Do I need a business accountant as a sole trader?
Many business owners see hiring an accountant as a luxury, but the right accounting services can deliver significant benefits. From saving you time and managing tax obligations to identifying cost savings and mitigating risks, an accountant can play a key role in helping your business grow.
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?
Selecting the right accountant is an important decision. Consider their location, how responsibilities will be shared, and the accounting software they use. Ensure they are a certified or chartered accountant with experience relevant to your industry. Your business and social networks can also be valuable resources for recommendations.
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.
