We humans are creatures of habit. We love routine and we positively hate change. We’ll stay with the same bank for years, even if they’ve fallen behind with their customer service. We’ll hang on to a favourite sweater, or a much-loved car, all for the sake of sentimentality. It’s an outlook that also extends to our trusty accountant. But, with the financial health of your business at stake, Kirkwood Wilson Accountants wonder if your current choice of accountant really adds up?
Employing an accountant to handle the financial affairs of your business is sometimes seen as a luxury for some, particularly start-ups and fledgling businesses. But for a successful business, it’s somewhat of a necessity to hand over those financial reigns if you want to work more on the business than in the business.
If you’ve long since bought into that approach, you may still be handing over your accounts to the same accountant who you first entrusted with the task. Hopefully you’re still just as happy with their service and are able to forge ahead with what you do best.
However, if you have any niggling doubts whatsoever, perhaps it’s time to take a step back and re-assess your arrangement. Your accountants need to adapt to the growth of your business and that means evolving, and constantly striving for new and improved techniques, to give you the service that you and your business deserve.
Ask yourself…
When did you last think you could really do with some extra support?
For your average family run business it’s all too easy for management meetings to fall by the wayside and vital actions slip through the net. We can provide an experienced Finance Director to help maintain your momentum. Worried about auto-enrolment? Our sister company, EasyPAE, can help. Struggling with payroll and bookkeeping? Again, we have the skills to ease the burden.
