For the Accounting Luddites out there… loyalty won’t pay the bills

Let's be honest, changing accounting firms can be a painful experience. Your customer could be with you for years and you may have won their trust, but if your customer is made an offer they can't refuse by a competitor that does all of the things that you do and more, and the result is a lot less work for them... then your relationship with that customer might get tested and you might not like the result :(.

WHO’S DOING YOUR DATA ENTRY, AND ARE THEY THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?

Data entry is often done by the junior members of staff in accounting firms. And while the level of accounting experience required is reasonably low, this is an extremely important piece of work.

Useful accounting terms for business owners and start ups

It’s difficult enough to run a successful business without worrying about balancing your books and understanding your tax bill - that’s what your accountant is for, right? And as well as managing these processes, your accountant may be one of the first you turn to, to discuss business growth and strategy, rightly so. However, if you’re able to ‘speak their language’, you’ll get significantly more value out of this relationship and have a better grasp of the reports and advice your accountant will provide.

Working strategically with your accountant to drive value for your business

Accountants do so much more than analysing spreadsheets and filing tax returns and as a small business owner, it’s important to view your accounting firm as a trusted business advisor, as opposed to an outsourced administrative function. In fact, having a good working relationship with your accountant and receiving timely advice can be one of your strongest assets and help to set your business apart. So what steps can businesses take to ensure they partner with the right practice and work with their accountant of choice as effectively as possible?

Whilst not all processes can, or should be automated, using technology to support certain lines of business can drive considerable efficiencies for users, and without breaking the bank. Here are some examples:
