Frequently asked questions
When is it worth changing accountant?
When you do not get answers in reasonable time, when the year-end accounts reach you in the final days, or when they only file and never warn you in advance. The turn of the business year is the cleanest moment to switch, but any time works if the handover is done properly.
What should I prepare for a first meeting?
Last year accounts, current contracts, bank statements, and a list of what feels uncomfortable right now. That last one matters most: most of the time goes on finding where the gaps are.
What can I reasonably expect from a good accountant?
To be told before a deadline rather than after. To be warned in advance when a decision carries a tax consequence. And to occasionally hear that something is a matter for a lawyer or a tax specialist. Anyone who says yes to everything is not a specialist.
