Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
A good accountant will enable you to sleep well at night knowing you are not paying more taxes than necessary and that there are no potential non-compliance that may arise for what-ever reason.
A good accountant is more than a mere tick box exercise, they are the radar that serves to warn you of pitfalls or dangers to your business, they offer honest advice regardless of the impact their it may have on their own business and consider the consequences to society at large should such honest advice not be given.
Failing business impact more than just that business owner - it impacts a whole community, society and generation.
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing how my clients succeed in achieving their dreams.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Greed from bigger firms. Accountants perform a public service, to the benefit of the public and this has unfortunately been forgotten by most and have served more as a personal pursuance to financial gain instead of a process of servicing legislative compliance and guardians of businesses to protect not only business owners but employees and their families affected by such employment.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are honest, fair and aim to make life easier for clients. Sugar-coating may cost you your business and waste valuable time and resources in the process. A business is there for more than just the benefit of the owner - we treat everyone the same, as humans, regardless of position or wealth in a company and we expect our clients to hold themselves to the same high standards we do.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, both physically onsite or remotely. We also offer after hours for those who need to focus on business during the day.
