The first thing to remember that accounting firms are all different! Each firm will have a different style, offer different services, have expertise in different sectors and have different strengths and weaknesses: just like any other business. Accountants can also provide a wide range of services from basic bookkeeping to specialist business advice. Some offer a full service, whilst others only focus on a narrow range or may be specialists in one particular industry. It’s vital that you choose an accountant who’s right for both you and your business: it’s also not only about your immediate needs, but if your business is going to grow, your accountant needs to able to help you get there. Also, you need to be confident that your accountant can not only provide the help and support you need, but that they will do it in the way you want. For example, if you’re looking for aggressive tax avoidance schemes, make sure that the accountants you select offer this service – as many don’t! Also look hard at your business and your attitude: do you want to have as little as possible to do with your accountant as possible – using them only to submit the documents you can’t complete yourself? Or do you want an accountant who will give you business advice and be involved in developing your business. Many small businesses are looking for an accountant who is somewhere between these two: the right accountant for you will be largely determined by where you sit on this spectrum. Before you start contacting any prospective accountants, consider the factors which are most important to you. Ian Swycher (Accounting Help) http://www.accounting-help.co.uk/acch
