Wales, UK - How A Small Business Owner Should Choose A Chartered Accountant

Most small businesses say that choosing an accountant is as significant as selecting a business partner. Considering how tough it can be for a business owner to navigate the complex financial world, a competent accountant will offer much-needed assistance. From keeping your books in order and helping with tax planning, tax efficiencies and meeting all tax deadlines, it becomes critical to hire the right person for the job. However, this is easier said than done, especially with so many accountants to choose from. So, how do you choose? To help you make an informed decision, here’s a guide to selecting the best Chartered Account for your small business.

The right accountant can be a godsend for any small business owner. Their knowledge and understanding of numbers allow them to stay ahead of all the money coming in and out of your business. This keeps you in line with everything you need to be doing in regard to payroll, HMRC and any audits required.

A certified accountant will aid you in handling complex financial processes like tax, invoicing, and end-of-year reporting, which you may not be conversant with. Instead of you spending time on this and learning everything you need to know and do, you can focus that energy on the operation of your business and focus on everything you need to whilst your accountant takes care of the rest.

A professional accountant will be able to help you to financially secure and plan for the growth of your business as well as ensure you operate efficiently.

How does a chartered accountant differ from a non-chartered accountant?

“Accountant” is a general term that may be used to describe anyone that is technically proficient in financial matters and requirements. However, they must have completed the required level of training or earned practical experience working in the finance department. In addition, they should follow the Financial Reporting Corporate Governance and Stewardship Code.

Chartered accountants are individuals who have sat and passed accounting exams, spent at least three years working in the industry, and pay a yearly fee to be part of a recognised body such as the global ACCA or ICAEW, earning them the status of being a “chartered accountant”. They follow strict ethical codes and will charge a higher fee for their services compared to non-chartered accountants.
