Frequently Asked Questions
How much does business accounting cost?
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.
What is the process for changing accountants?
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 select a new accountant who aligns with your business needs.
- Provide your new accountant with the necessary details and authorise them to communicate with your previous accountant to facilitate a smooth transition.
- Ensure all relevant financial records and documents are transferred securely.
- Convey any specific requirements or expectations to your new accountant to ensure a seamless transition and continuity of services.
Do I need a business accountant as a small business, sole trader or start-up?
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.
What factors should I look at when selecting 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.
