This is the year!  You have a wonderful idea and you are going to go into business for yourself.  Start your own operation.  This will be a year of excitement and challenges.  The only problem is whether you should ask for help from a mentor or hire professionals to guide you on your way to success.

Research shows that established business owners are more likely to rely on accountants, lawyers, etc.  Part of the reason is probably that an ongoing concern has extra money to spend on these services but a new business is on a tight purse string.

If this all sounds like you, here are some reasons why you might want to consider hiring an accountant.

More than Taxes

An accountant does not only handle tax preparation.  If you engage their services as a resource, they can offer perspective on the economy as a whole and frequently on your segment of the business world.  They can help muddle through when times are tough and show you how to expand during booms.

Focus

It is your job as an entrepreneur to focus on the business you want to establish.  If you get swallowed up in daily details like keeping the books and endless paperwork you won't have the time to truly get your business off the ground, let alone on the road to success.  Accountants can take on many mundane tasks or show you how to automate the process so that you can truly pay attention to what is happening with sales and clients.

Balance

Everyone needs downtime.  Not just for sanity but to rejuvenate.  Taking time for yourself or your family in hobbies or avocations means you become a more well-rounded person and able to deal with the stresses of your job.  It also means you come back to the business refreshed with new ideas for expansion or progress.  An accountant can take on the mundane tasks that most people hate and free up your time for something enjoyable.

Guidance

New businesses often overlook the value of a professional accountant and the connections in the community and elsewhere.  Accountants look at financials from a wide variety of operations and have a perspective on the general economy.  They also can advise about avoiding pitfalls others have missed and sharing this information can be invaluable to you.  They also will have working relationships with financiers and investors.  They understand the documentation necessary and will help you with your presentation.

Relationships

As a business owner, you need to establish your place in the industry or community.  Showing a solid business relationship with other professionals will enhance your reputation.  As you develop your own ongoing relationships with other companies and owners, you will take your place as a successful person.
