Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I expect to pay for business accounting services?
The cost of business accounting services can differ based on factors like the complexity of your financial needs, the size of your business, and the particular services you need. Consulting directly with an accounting firm like ours is the best way to discuss your business needs and receive a customised quote for the services you require.
How do I transition from my current accountant to a new one?
To switch accountants, we recommend you follow these steps:
- Notify your current accountant of your decision and request any necessary documents or information.
- Research and identify a new accountant who meets your business requirements.
- Provide your new accountant with the essential details and authorise them to communicate with your previous accountant to facilitate a smooth transition.
- Ensure all relevant financial records and documents are transferred securely.
- Communicate any specific requirements or expectations to your new accountant to ensure a seamless transition and continuity of services.
Why do small businesses, sole traders, or start-ups need a business accountant?
Handling accounts as a small business owner can quickly become detailed and overwhelming. An experienced small business accountant can support you in managing your business' finances and assist you in reaching your financial goals.
How do I choose the right accountant for my business?
Choosing the appropriate accountant requires careful thought. You should consider the accountant's location, how the workload will be divided, and the type of accounting software you'll utilise. Make sure to select a certified or chartered accountant with relevant expertise for your business. Your business and social networks can offer valuable suggestions for the right firm or accountant.
What is the difference between an accountant and 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. Whereas, if you need someone to offer a variety of business accounting services and advice then an accountant may be right for you.
