How do I find an accountant for small business UK?
To find the right accountant for you, here are our top tips of things to look for:
- Professional expertise – as a very minimum you need your accountant to keep your small business compliant so make sure they know their stuff and have the necessary qualifications. You’ll want to look for a Chartered accountant, which means they’ve received professional accreditation, have undergone industry training and are a member of a professional body. This information should be easily visible on their website.
- First-hand experience – find an accountant who’s already working with businesses like yours. They’ll be better placed to provide you with relatable insights to benefit your small business.
- Focus on automation and integration – paperless accounting is the way-forward. Find a modern-firm embracing technology.
- The right attitude built on trust – you’ll want to find an accountant you get on with. You want to be able to pick up the phone to your accountant when you need to, so make sure you choose someone you’ve got rapport with. The best way to find this out is to book a discovery call.
