How To Choose Your Accounting Services

Your choice of accountant is about more than getting your annual accounts and tax return submitted accurately and on time.

It's about finding somebody to become your trusted business advisor, a partner with specialist expertise to help you make great decisions to protect, manage and grow your business.

Depending upon your needs and the scale of your business, you'll either want just the essentials covered, or will need more strategic input to help with development of your business, beyond the elementary admin type tasks.

Essential Accounting Services

If you need to get just your basic accounts done for a sensible price, you can choose from a wide range of core accounting services…

• Bookkeeping service that free your time from clerical tasks and set you free to run your business instead
• Corporate and personal tax returns with the expertise to advise you how to safely minimise what you have to pay the tax man
• Support and advice on VAT, including which one of at least four options will be best for your profit and cash flow
• Annual submissions to Companies House
• A friendly qualified accountant to call whenever you need advice, with expertise in topics as diverse as company car tax to employment law

When you're smaller, choosing an accountant that can deal with the needs of a growing business clearly makes sense.

On the other hand, if you run a larger business, you need an accountant that can offer more than these essential core services.

So, while everything above may be all that a smaller business needs, for larger companies you will expect more from your accountant, because of the benefits that a professional accountancy team brings to your business.

Things like higher margins, increased resilience against recession, benchmarking that keeps you ahead of your competition, plus other strategic support to make the profits you know you could be achieving.

Strategic Accounting Services

The services to consider include

• An outsourced Finance Director service, so you get the knowledge and expertise to make strategic decisions without the expense of a full-time Finance Director
• Support you through Mergers & Acquisitions, to give you the confidence that comes from having experienced professionals on your side of the table
• Help you to select the best type of finance for your particular situation and to prepare your business case so that you feel prepared and confident
• Introduce you to banks, investors, lenders and other types of financial institutions that can support the needs of your business
• Develop your Partnership & Shareholder Agreements to help you avoid relationship distractions and let you concentrate on running your business
• An Auditing Service from an accomplished team, headed by a Partner to give you insights into threats and opportunities, rather than being somebody who just signs the audit report
• Tax advice ranging from some basic tax planning steps to some of the most advanced schemes on the market, helping you to hold onto more of your hard-earned profit and income
