Do You Need an Accountant?

For businesses of any size, an accountant can be a major asset. They will be able to keep track of all finances and, importantly, make sure that you are abiding by the rules. HMRC has a number of complex regulations and it’s important you understand and comply fully. An accountant can make sure that you are doing just this.

The level of accountant you need will depend on your business. A bookkeeper may be perfectly sufficient. If your business is large, you may want to hire a qualified chartered accountant who understands your industry.

If you do not have the resources or requirement for a full-time accountant, an accountancy agency may be an option. They will be able to provide as many or as few services as you need. Even if you have an in-house accountant, audits will need to be carried out so you will usually need to use someone external.
