Your Accounting Questions
What is the typical cost of business accounting?
Business accounting service costs can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of your financial needs, your business size, and the specific services needed. It's advisable to consult with an accounting firm like ours directly to discuss your business requirements and get a tailored quote for the services you need.
How can I switch from my current accountant?
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 needs.
- Give your new accountant the required details and authorise them to communicate with your former accountant to ensure a smooth transition.
- Make sure all financial records and documents are securely transferred.
- Share any specific requirements or expectations with your new accountant to guarantee a seamless transition and continued service.
Should a small business, sole trader, or start-up hire a business accountant?
Trying to self-manage the accounts as a small business owner 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.
How can I find the best accountant for my business needs?
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 assist with running your payroll, maintaining daily records, issuing and following up on invoices, and recording and reconciling transactions. If you need assistance with transactions daily or several times a month, bookkeeping services might be necessary. However, if you require a range of business accounting services and advice, an accountant might be more suitable.
