Listen Later

Do you want an accountant who helps you to achieve what you want to achieve?

Shaz goes through a comprehensive list of twenty great points that you need to consider when you are looking for the right accountant for you. Your accountant is a hugely important advisor so finding someone who is able to offer the services you need and help you to achieve your goals and aspirations is key

Listen in because the more advice you follow from this insightful list the more likely it is you will find an accountant who is the right fit for you.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • An accountant is an incredibly important advisor to you and your business
  • Make sure your accountant knows and understands property
  • The level of expertise you need will vary from time to time but you need to know who is working on your accountant, will you have a dedicated account manager? Who is going to be your dedicated point of contact?
  • Ask about the services they offer to make sure they have all the services you require
  • You need to have an accountant who can offer you what you need, don’t go with the cheapest, look for someone who can help you realise your expectations
  • Check which software they are using, it’s better if they are using and familiar with the software you are using
  • Different people have different requirements and you need to understand how they work and what to expect from communication with them
  • Are they a qualified accountant? working with a qualified accountant means they have a regulatory body, indemnity insurance and have to undertake continuing professional development
  • Does the company offer a money-back guarantee? This is an indicator they are confident about delivering every time
  • Do they offer fixed fees? These are good because they provide clarity for you and mean the accountant will be motivated to be efficient
  • Are they the right fit for you, do they communicate in a way that works for you and can you get along with them?

  

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you get a blank look from the accountant when you mention property it’s a good indicator they are not the accountant for you’

‘Ask people you know for recommendations; this is the best way to find anyone anywhere’

‘If they have an interest in property investment they are going to know more and have good contacts’
