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 great tool for managing your business finances, but it still demands significant time and effort. By working with a small business accountant, you can reduce stress and focus on other essential aspects of running your business.
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?
Handling your own financial management may seem like a cost-saving move, but DIY accounting can lead to missed tax opportunities, invoicing delays, tax miscalculations, and costly errors. A business accountant can help you avoid these pitfalls, giving you the confidence to make well-informed financial decisions.
How do I choose the right accountant for my business?
Finding the right accountant takes careful thought. Think about factors such as their location, how the workload will be divided, and which accounting software they use. It’s essential to choose a certified or chartered accountant with expertise that aligns with your business needs. Seeking recommendations from your business and social networks can also help you make the right choice.
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.
