As the Owner / Chief Executive of a London-based business there’s no shortage of accountants you could work with.
It’s a pivotal relationship and it needs to be right.
But what if it’s wrong and holding you back?
It might be time to change your accountant.
Frustrations and challenges with the wrong accountant
- They don’t understand your business – this is paramount. If your accountant doesn’t understand your business and its markets then they simply won’t be able to provide the right help
- Slow and unresponsive service – telling you what you needed to know five months ago isn’t going to help you make important decisions
- Too much or too little technology – there’s a “Goldilocks” level of technology that underlies good business accounting. Have you found yours?
- Personal chemistry is wrong – rapport and trust are key, you should be comfortable with the relationship and not distanced from it
- Poor value for money – quality service comes at a cost but fees should represent good value for money
The list could easily be longer but it certainly suggests it’s time to change accountant.
If you stay as you are and don’t change accountant
You’re almost certainly not getting the financial information you need in order to grow your business, improve your cashflow and increase your profitability
And if you don’t have the right mix of technology you’ll lag behind where you should be and pay more for the privilege.
