Accounting Times’ Post

I find it funny that accountants are widely regarded as boring, when they are at the forefront of so many things. ·        When a company is purchased it is the finance department that is worked on first ·        There are amazing accountancy shows such as Accountex and the Digital Accountancy Show and collaborative groups like the Accounts Wealth Academy and Pro Nation that when I speak to friends in other business services, aren’t available in theirs. ·        We use more pieces of software than my counterparts in other business services (I use 6, others use many more). Please don’t see accountants as a necessary evil that you need to pay to receive historical accounts to satisfy the tax man. Have up to date accounts prepared regularly so you can base decision upon fact not upon your best guess at the time. Tick all your bases, so you don’t get caught out later. Similar to in your role; we can avoid the problem far easier than we can solve it after the event! If you would like an accountant you feel comfortable with, who can help you prepare and give value rather than cost you, please do get in touch! #addedvalue #timeforanewaccountant #businessadvice #friendlyadvice #helpful

What Clients Want from Accountants! Traditionally viewed as bean counters, accountants are now embracing a broader, more holistic approach to their profession.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to receive in my LinkedIn inbox, three messages from accounting firms marketing their services. There was a common theme. ✅ We do so much more than taxes. 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬.  It's time for accountants to stop saying what they do and tell their clients and prospective clients how they can help them succeed. 𝐀𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬'𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭.  They want the outcome. Yes there are soft skills involved as communication is key in operating a successful accounting business. I have been providing Business Advisory Services to business owners for 8 years and helping accountants learn how do the same for 5.
