There are loads of other areas your accountant could help you with: cash flow planning, payroll ,PAYE, VAT… the list goes and on. So how do you know a good accountant when you see one? Here is some practical advice for choosing a good accountant: * Contact a couple of accountants that you have heard of through word of mouth, or seen advertised. * Get an appointment with them. Before your meeting decide what services you would like them to provide. * It is very important that you feel comfortable with your accountant. * You should be able to trust them - after all they will see a lot of personal information in the coming years. After you have met with them, ask yourself these questions: Q. Did I feel that they understood my business and its needs? Q. Are they easily accessible, and will they be able to answer my questions quickly? Q. Are they asking a price that I can afford? Q. What experience and qualifications have they? Q. Does their website give me more information about their firm? Q. Can they give me guarantees for the quality and service I can expect, and an estimate of when the work will be completed? Q. Do I get on with them and do I think I will be able to work with them over the long-term? Each one of these questions has to be answered positively. If not, then this accountant may not be the one for you. Once you have decided which accountant to use, make sure that you are both clear about what services you require and get written confirmation about what they will do for you. Taking some time at the outset to choose the right accountant for you will reap rewards in the long run as you develop an invaluable and long-term business relationship!
