When setting up a business, you may not have even considered hiring a chartered accountant, however, failing to take this into consideration could be one of the biggest mistakes you make upon starting out. Keeping on top of your bookkeeping in terms of budgets and expenses can be a challenge when you are new to the business world, but the expertise of an accountant will ensure that you are both fully prepared and organised on a day-to-day basis.

Here are some key reasons why you should hire a chartered accountant:

1. Saves you valuable time

Running a business can be extremely time-consuming, therefore hiring an accountant to manage financial tasks can take a huge weight off your shoulders. Accountants can manage aspects such as recording receipts and even more complex tasks such as completing your tax returns; both of which can take hours of time that could be spent on other business needs.

2. Managing stressful financial tasks

If you are new to the business world and are struggling to get to grips with how financial tasks are completed, an accountant can take on these responsibilities, so you have the peace of mind that your finances are being managed correctly and efficiently. Crucial mistakes could cost your business thousands of pounds, therefore the assistance of an accountant can help to iron out any issues immediately and keep your finances on track.

3. Providing expert advice

An accountant can help keep your business costs to a minimum, by offering expert advice on where your money could perhaps be best spent. You may be keen to try new marketing techniques or other latest trends to help grow your business, but an accountant may be able to provide knowledge on whether or not such tactics are worth the huge cost. They may also be able to answer any other financial queries in terms of long-term plans for your business.
