The first and most important thing to remember before getting into anything else is that your accountant handles your money and your money is what your future relies on. Choosing the wrong accountant could cause major damage, if not be one of the many reasons your business could fail. It isn’t hard to choose the right accountant as it is mostly a personal choice that you can customize to your own unique business.

There are several questions you can ask and tips you can consider, even write down somewhere, when choosing an accountant that will be right for your needs.

1.      Will Saving Money Be a Big Priority?

Look for an accountant that will be passionate about saving you money, this will only benefit your business in the long run. In finding someone like this, you can rest assured that all the final prices and deals will be at their lowest when they get to you to make the final decision. This gives you, as a business owner, less stress and the freedom to focus on your product or service quality.

2.      What Method of Accounting Suits You Best?

Some people prefer manual or face to face accounting where others prefer to work with cloud accounting. Both have their benefits – personal, face to face accounting helps you form a closer bond with your accountant which will make working together long term pleasant and easy. Cloud accounting is great for remote locations – if your business is somewhere far out it can be quite a hassle to get your accountant there, cloud accounting allows for your accounting to do your finances from wherever they are, whenever you need them.

3.      Work With Like- Minded People

Working with an accountant who has worked in your field or a similar one to yours can help make the process just that much easier as it is not new territory for them – giving you less to worry about. If your accountant has worked with similar businesses to yours in the past they will more likely know the smaller tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your business.

4.      Is Your Accountant Certified or Chartered?

It is always best to go with a chartered accountant when facing this crossroad. Chartered accountants are the most highly trained and tested types of accountants you will find anywhere today, they will also be able help you out should your business ever be audited or visited by the tax man. Chartered accountants are also degree-level educated on accounting and how to keep the standard and quality of work at its peak.

5.      Ask Friends and Family About Their Accountants

You don’t always need to look from scratch, asking your friends and family about their accounting options could be beneficial as everyone is close knit and understand each other. Having said this, do not forget to consider the fact that some accountants that work for other businesses, might not always work for yours.
