Improve your business by changing your accountants

Changing accountant

Changing accountants – it’s not something you do all the time but you’ll know when the time is right.

Business owners and directors place a great deal of trust into the hands of their bookkeeper and accountant. But how do you know if they are doing a good job, let alone doing the right job, doing the work your business actually needs?

A big challenge if you’re running a business is how to review your accountant’s work effectively.

  • What are the appropriate checks and balances?
  • What timescales should you expect?
  • What information?
  • What technology?

What does best practice look like if you’ve never seen it?

Let’s get your business accounting working

When we start to work with a new client, the areas we usually need to concentrate on include:

We want to make sure that day-to-day bookkeeping is thorough as this is the foundation for good financial management.

Then, things like VAT returns, paying PAYE, saving for annual tax payments are all visible, easily managed and won’t get in the way.

And once the day-to day work is running like a well-oiled machine, the year-end tasks – accounts and tax returns – are much more straight-forward.


Michael and the Blue Dot team have been an essential part of our journey from startup through to being an established company, and we look forward to continuing working together long into the future. They have always been on hand to offer support and sound advice whenever it is needed.
