Recommendations, competence, benefits? Let it be an accountant and accounting that are convenient for you
How to choose an accountant?
Just as you choose a professional business partner. Your accounting is important, isn’t it? And are you looking for a good accountant? Therefore: conduct the relevant research, make contacts, ask the necessary questions, and… The moment comes when you realize that this is the one – the good accountant. You have been looking for them and you find them at the most appropriate moment: when you want or have a business, and/or when you want to have a better business. And/or – you want to have a better accountant.
Who should you ask for recommendations?
Talk to friends, acquaintances, and partners about choosing an accountant and accounting services. Find out what was important to them, then think about what is important to you. Because you are looking for a good accountant from whom you want convenient accounting services, right? So, from everything you learn about choosing accounting services, select what you need. This way, you already know what you are looking for and what to ask the accountant. All that remains is to find them.
A good accountant should work (as if) for you.
This means that they know and do exactly what is necessary for your business. Because accounting service is not just collecting invoices and bank documents, processing them, and creating reports and tables. A good accountant (should) know and understand your business and your way of working. They ask many questions – both at the beginning and throughout the time you work together.
Your accountant provides valuable insights and works conveniently.
You can tell this from the very first time. During your first phone conversation, at your first meeting, and in every subsequent communication. A good accountant is a good advisor and an easy-to-work-with professional partner. Their accounting services include consultations, advice, and answers to questions. An important part of the service is the coordination and optimization of work processes and interaction. To be useful and convenient for you, every time.
What to look for when choosing an accountant and accounting services?
A good accountant is easily found online.
Use Google search with the keywords that are important to you. These can be different knowledge, skills, experience, or specialization. Be specific according to your needs. For example: you use Stripe (stripe.com) to receive online payments with debit or credit cards. Then type „Stripe accounting“ into the search engine. And for online recommendations, check the Google reviews – they are personal, objective, and cannot be removed or edited.
The website is indicative of the accountant and their accounting services.
See if there are contact forms and what they are. Can you book appointments for consultations and meetings? Is the provided email address with its own domain (like the website’s), or is it from free services like abv.bg, gmail.com, mail.bg? Are the accountant’s clients presented, and are their opinions about their work together published? If both are present, it is a good sign. Clearly, the accountant and their clients work well together and are satisfied with each other.
Accounting services – prices?
It is good to have them, and even better – to have them described as accounting packages: types, what they include, and how they are formed (on what basis). They should be clear and understandable – as sample solutions and/or as a basis for seeking the best personal solution. Discussed and agreed upon additionally, specifically for you.
Accounting services – the people?
Pay attention to the visual presentation of the manager(s) and employees you (will) work with. Are they on the website – with professional photos? How do they look, are they smiling? Are there work photos from the office – do you see messy desks or is everything organized and professional?
Accounting services – the benefits?
There are very specific things to look for and demand.
For example (but not limited to):
• quick and clear response to a request for a meeting and/or a quote;
