Frequently Asked Questions
What are the costs associated with business accounting?
The cost of accounting services for businesses can vary depending on the complexity of your financial needs, the size of your business, and the specific services you require. It’s best to consult directly with an accounting firm like ours to discuss your business needs and obtain a personalised quote for the services you need.
How do I transition from my current accountant to a new one?
To switch accountants, follow these steps:
- Inform your current accountant about your decision and request any necessary documents or information.
- Research and find a new accountant that suits your business needs.
- Give your new accountant the needed details and authorise them to liaise with your previous accountant for a smooth transition.
- Ensure all essential financial records and documents are transferred securely.
- Share any specific requirements or expectations with your new accountant to guarantee a seamless transition and continued service.
Why do small businesses, sole traders, or start-ups need a business accountant?
Managing your own accounts as a small business owner can swiftly become complicated and daunting. A professional small business accountant can help you monitor your business' finances and guide you towards achieving your financial objectives.
What should I consider when choosing an accountant for my business?
Selecting the right accountant involves thoughtful consideration. Consider the accountant's location, how the workload will be divided, and the type of accounting software you'll use. Ensure you select a certified or chartered accountant and find one with experience relevant to your business. Your business and social networks can also provide recommendations for the right firm or accountant.
Should I hire an accountant or a bookkeeper?
Bookkeepers can help manage your payroll, maintain daily records, issue and follow up on invoices, and record and reconcile transactions. If you need help with daily transactions or several times a month, bookkeeping services are essential. On the other hand, if you need a variety of business accounting services and advice, an accountant could be the better choice.
