Choosing and Changing your Accountants:

 

 

Choosing accountants to look after your financial affairs can be a daunting task when you are considering who to trust your financial information to.

At South Coast Accountants, we are open and honest and frank with our customers as well as ensuring that your financial information is safe,

We have verifiable customer and trade references as well as the necessary  licences, insurance and professional registrations that have been checked by a third party.  You can be assured of knowing who we are and be confident to trust us with looking after your information.

Cost is not the only consideration you should consider when choosing accountants, we are very competitive in that area, but a good accountant can save you money and we specialise in considering tax savings aspects of your business in order that you can be as tax efficient as possible whilst adhering to the various financial and regulatory reporting requirements.

Further to this we emphasis the importance of accounting information as a business management tool and not just a means to satisfy HMRC!

Many accountants prepare accounts without any consideration to the usefulness of this information for business management purposes.  This coupled with the fact that accounts are often prepared long after the year end mean that the accountants function can quickly turn into a history lesson for small businesses rather than an up-to-date business tool.

It is very easy to change accountants too, if you instruct us as accountants to take over your business requirements, we would write to your previous accountants to obtain any paperwork and request any balances and the latest position of your financial affairs in order to bring forward your accounting requirements quickly and efficiently.  This is all handled by us and you don’t need to do anything other than inform your previous accountants.

 

Is Your Accountant Qualified?:

 

 

The term ’Accountant’ is not a legally protected term and anyone is able to call themselves an accountant with or with out qualifications!

Check that your Accountant is qualified with a main professional body.  Practising Accountants also need to hold a Practising Certificate issued by their professional body.

If your Accountant is not qualified you may have difficulty obtaining finance or a  mortgage as accounts produced by non-qualified ’Accountants’ are rarely accepted as proof of income  by financial institutions.

Don’t let your financial affairs run away with you
