What I want from my accountant

  • Access to a book-keeper unless I have a team member who does that or a local freelancer
  • Monthly P&L prepared within 10 days of the month end
  • Quarterly meeting to discuss overall financial strategy & tactics
  • Lots of ideas
  • Plenty of notice on forthcoming tax liabilities
  • A nag if I’m not doing things well
  • A friend whose company I enjoy
  • Somebody who “gets” me, “gets” business and doesn’t castigate me when I make entrepreneurial decisions that go wrong.
