This is why you want to take your time and ensure the best choice when looking for an accountant.
Before you decide to hire an accountant, make sure you understand the four fundamental areas where an accountant can be much of a help.
Fundamental Areas of Accountant’s Expertise
• Accountant can help you with business advisory – An accountant should be knowledgeable about the business environment of your company, also your tax situation, financial statements, etc. Once the accountant is knowledgeable of all these aspects, they will be able to fit all pieces together and help you come up with a business plan and a personal financial plan. An accountant should be able to provide you with helpful and knowledgeable advice on different business aspects from insurance to expansion and everything in between. A reliable accountant will be able to provide you with an objective and unbiased insight and opinion.
• Accountant can help you with book-keeping and accounting – Of course, the main expertise of an accountant is accounting and book-keeping. An accountant will help you by setting bookkeeping and accounting systems to help you monitor and manage your day-to-day business records. A good system set by a reliable accountant will allow you to evaluate the profitability of your business and modify prices if required. An accountant will also help you with monitoring expenses and tracking budget, spotting trends and reducing accounting fees, etc.
• Accountant can help you with tax advice – A good accountant will also provide you with help on tax-related issues and questions in two main areas: tax compliance and tax planning.
• Accountant can help you with auditing – Auditing is a service most commonly required by a bank when it comes to loans. There are many levels of auditing and an accountant can help you with preparing financial statements, the actual audit, and other aspects of auditing.
How to Choose an Accountant?
Of course, the best and often easiest way to find a reliable accountant is by getting referrals. You can get reliable referrals for an accountant usually from your attorney, banker, or business colleague because these are the professionals, who often need to work with an accountant. While a good accountant will often work for a big company, there are many reliable and experienced specialists, who are certified public accountants and work for middle- and smaller-sized companies and businesses too. It is very important to check if the accountant has a CPA. Once you narrow down your choice and settle on an accountant professional, it is important to consider and discuss with the accountant how much of the work will be done by your company and how much of the workload will be done by the accountant. In general, an accountant will be able to help you in three broad categories: recording transactions, assembling transactions, and generating returns and financial statements. It is important to determine in which category you will need the help of the accountant.
The next step when choosing an accountant is to interview them and see how you will “click”. If you have narrowed down your choice to more than one accountant, make sure to arrange interviews with all of them. There are many questions you can ask in order to determine whether an accountant can be helpful to your business or not, most of them we will explore below.
Questions to Ask an Accountant
There are three main categories of questions you would like to ask the accounting specialists during the interview you arrange with them.
• Services – Is the accountant offering bookkeeping besides tax and auditing services? What about management consulting, estate planning? Does the accountant help with the design and implementation of a financial information system that works for your business? Does the accountant offer additional services such as analyzing transactions for loans and financing, preparing, auditing, reviewing and compiling financial statements, managing investments, representing you before tax authorities?
• Personality – You should make sure that the style of work and personality of the specialist is compatible with yours. Is the professional the right choice for handling your business? After all, you are leaving your business in their hands, you want them to be reliable and professional. Ask specialists how they will handle situations and issues relevant to you and your business. Listen to the answers and make a decision on how they will approach your company.
• Fees – Make sure to ask about service fees upfront. A reliable accountant will never be hesitant about asking such questions and they will provide you with all the information you need to make a decision. Most professionals will commonly charge by the hour. Make sure their fee system and all the costs involved in working with them works for you and your business. Get a range of quotes, if needed, and you can also make a final decision based on the budget you can use for working with an accountant. However, don’t base your decision solely on cost and mainly look for experience, professionalism, reliability.
Make the Most of Your Work with an Accountant
After you make a final choice and decide on a specialist, make sure to engage them through a letter or a document that spells out all terms of the agreement. Such a document should mention all details including the fees to be charged. Such a document will make sure that both you and the accounting specialist have the same expectations from this relationship.
