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 makes DIY accounting easier, but it doesn’t eliminate the time commitment required. A small business accountant can take the pressure off, giving you more time to focus on running and 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?
You might think managing your own business finances is the best option, but DIY accounting comes with risks. You could miss out on valuable tax breaks, fall behind on invoicing, miscalculate your tax bill, or lack the insights needed for informed decision-making. A business accountant helps minimise these risks while keeping your finances on track.
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?
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.
