Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
Every business, big or small, needs to hire an accountant to protect the financial integrity of the organisation. Many business owners think that with the assistance of handy software such as QuickBooks, they can personally handle the accounting, and truth be told, that is the biggest mistake a business owner can make.
When business owners decide not to hire an accountant they are usually motivated by the savings they think they will achieve, but fact of the matter is a good accountant can be one of the most worthwhile investments made in the business, and in the end can actually end up saving the company money.
Hiring the right accountant can be a valuable asset to your business, no matter how small, and can provide many benefits at various stages of growth, such as described below.
During the start-up phase
During the all important start-up phase of a company a great accountant can be beneficial in providing advice as to what type of company is best suited for the business model, as well as assist in making decisions in regards to maximising profit. The right accountant will also be able to advise and guide you through the financial section of a business plan, allowing you a more professional outlook on what’s to come.
Day-to-day operations
When it comes to the daily operations of a business there are many services an accountant can provide. These services include managing the recording of financial transactions and ensuring compliance with the law, overseeing payroll and helping to find cost savings from various vendors, and from within operating costs. In addition, an accountant will handle all aspects of tax preparation, such as payroll deductions, financial reports and necessary deductions. Choosing the right accountant will ensure that a business is able to properly plan for changes in expenses and growth, creating a financial safety net so the business never faces hardship.
During periods of growth
A good accountant is critical to a company during periods of growth, and businesses are able to benefit from their expertise in several ways. An account will provide valuable advice, in addition to financial reports to indicate how growth should be handled, as well as provide insight as to opportunity. They will also help with every aspect of business including planning for expansion, opening a new location or even selling if need be. Using an accredited accountant safeguards a business from having to experience an audit, or can help work through the process of an audit with you should one occur.
During financial hardship
If a company is experiencing times of financial difficulty an accountant can help to manage the situation by helping to identify problems within the business, and developing new plans to bring the finances under control. They can also be useful in working with creditors to organise payment arrangements, handle any liens and negotiate interest rates, directly affecting the financial situation of the company.
A great accountant will offer the flexibility needed to meet the needs of individual owners, whether it is on a full or part time basis, steering the business towards success and financial stability.
What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy my work as an Accountant for more than 20 years. We are often portrayed as stressed, number-crunching individuals who spend hours on end rifling through spreadsheets sitting behind a desk. Realistically, many accountants are happy with their jobs and find enjoyment working in the accounting industry. In fact, many accountants boast a love for the job they do on a daily basis.
Working with numbers is a key element of a position within the accounting industry; however, what many accountants love most about their jobs is the opportunity to problem solve.
Some accountants enjoy the opportunity to make strategic recommendations for businesses based on financial performance. The need for a knowledgeable accountant to analyze profits, losses and cost-saving measures is invaluable for a company's growth and development.
People who work in the accounting industry may also enjoy learning new software and technologies that simplify accounting procedures and processes. As new programs and online expense-tracking apps evolve, accountants are able to automate many processes that were previously performed manually. It can be exciting for accountants to utilize technology to streamline financial information for multiple clients.
Accountants have the option to work individually, or they can choose to collaborate with others when problem-solving. In the accounting industry, the option to work solo without distractions can be a productive method when focusing on a client, whereas group projects may be an appropriate change of pace when deadlines are looming. Many accountants love having the option to choose their preferred working style, especially when they own their own accounting practice.
Working as an accountant can also be glamorous when handling high-profile clients. Hedge fund accountants, corporate accounting jobs and mutual fund accountants have the potential to earn up to six figures annually. Unlike some tax accountants, hedge fund, corporate and mutual fund accountants often have even-keeled hours with year-round employment as opposed to long work days during income tax filing season. Although the hours may be long, many accountants enjoy reaping the financial benefits of their hard work in high-dollar positions within the accounting industry.
The benefits of work as an accountant may not be well-known with rankings as the most glamorous job, but many people who work in the accounting industry enjoy the problem solving, the opportunity to work with numbers and the ability to make strategic recommendations that can impact companies. Supportive colleagues, appreciative clients and monetary bonuses are valuable benefits, too.
What inspired you to start your own business?
An opportunity arose. I decided to take the leap and have been very happy with my decision. I began to think that moving my practice to a solo operation would be another opportunity to create the life and work environment of my choosing.

I also provide financial and strategic tax planning and consultation. I will meet with clients in my office year round.
I can also meet at clients’ place of business and make house calls to individuals who cannot come into the office. I offer personalized services at reasonable rates.
Get organized, set aside a time and place to get to the task of tax preparation, and don’t wait until the last minute. You don’t want to find that you’re missing a crucial piece of information and can’t get it in time to file.

Advice
Our firm provides quick to offer advice on when to purchase equipment and how to keep financial records, while other accounting firms compile the necessary financial reports but offer little feedback. The amount of advice you need or want depends upon your financial knowledge and experience. If you need a lot of help, select our firm that offers in-depth financial counseling.
Level of Service
