Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
It is a common presumption that all accountants are the same. Nothing could be further from the truth! Just as in all walks of life you have the good, the bad and the down right ugly! We explain here who can call themselves "accountants".
Alarmingly the word accountant is not a protected term in the UK. This means that anybody can call themselves an accountant! Or for that matter a tax adviser or business consultant! The result is that many of the businesses that call themselves accountants are being run by people without any professional accountancy qualification. What is worse, often many of these firms and individuals are not regulated. That's right, you could open up tomorrow as an accountant with no training, qualification or even professional indemnity insurance! I am sure if you were buying a house you would want a qualified lawyer to handle your affairs, or similarly if you needed an operation you would want a qualified doctor to carry out the procedure. So make sure that you get a qualified accountant to look after your tax and business affairs.
The directors of Harries Watkins & Jones are both members of the ‘Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales' and also the ‘Association of Chartered Certified Accountants'. This means that they:
*Passed professional exams
*Have undertaken supervised training
*Have to continue to keep up to date with changes in tax and accountancy
*Are subjected to monitoring and quality control
*Have strict professional rules and ethics that must be adhered to
When choosing an accountant ask them what qualifications they hold.
Why should our clients choose you?
All accountants are not the same, our business is best explained by what we do and do not.
What we do:
*Listen to you. We can not offer a suitable solution without first carefully listening to your needs.
*Offer a personal professional service - each client has a director overseeing their service.
*Offer an individual service - we tailor our services to meet your exact needs.
*Offer quality advice - we are Chartered Accountants.
*Care about our clients - we offer the same high standard of service to all clients, regardless of size.
*Can give fixed price quotes in advance of any work undertaken.
*Can agree timescales for all work undertaken.
*Spread our fees over 12 months (terms and conditions apply).
What we do NOT do:
*Special offers/gimmicks - we offer a professional service for a competitive fee, we see no need to pretend to do anything other than this.
*Give you the hard sell - we do not try to sell products to our clients of little or no value to them.
*Have a large advertising budget - most of our new work comes from recommendations from existing clients and other fellow professionals. We like to let the service we offer speak for its self.
*Try to confuse you. We are happy to fully explain our advice in an easy to understand manner.
