Full Service Accounting Firm FAQs
Do I need a business accountant for a very small business?
Managing your own small business accounts can quickly become overwhelming. A skilled small business accountant can help you stay on top of your finances while providing tailored advice to support your financial goals.
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?
While hiring an accountant may seem unnecessary, the right accounting support can make a huge difference. A skilled accountant helps streamline tax compliance, uncover potential savings, manage risks, and free up your time—allowing you to focus on growing your business.
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?
Selecting the right accountant is an important decision. Consider their location, how responsibilities will be shared, and the accounting software they use. Ensure they are a certified or chartered accountant with experience relevant to your industry. Your business and social networks can also be valuable resources for recommendations.
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.
