Small Business Accountants

We do not recommend specific certified or chartered small business accountants nor do we attempt to offer advice on whether you should choose one particular type of accountancy firm or another. However we do recommend to use our service to help compare several small business accountants at one time. Accountant Now (ACN) does not recommend specific solutions for your financial or accountancy needs, but we can help offer general advice on how best to use or maximise the value of hiring small business accountants since some of us have personal experience of managing UK small companies over a thirty year period.

What ACN does offer, is a consumer service that puts the company owner or professional in control. It helps them better manage the process of shortlisting, selecting and eventually choosing small business accountants, from initial enquiry, to the ensuing communication and final negotiation with qualified and reputable local small business accountants. These professional firms may be financial specialists in their own right, in areas such as forensic accounting or expert witness, but they will all be suitably qualified as small business accountants to provide the right accountancy and financial company advice and assistance on a professional basis, and matched for the size and culture of your organisation.

Small business accountants often have expertise and skills in preparing government funding applications. In the past they were also a mine of information such as offering advice in how best to obtain company support at no-cost or low-cost. Small business accountants are not always best placed themselves to offer company advice. In the 'naughties' 2000-2010 access to company development funding was provided by third party organisations, often working on a franchise basis under the brand name of Business Link (BL). BL worked as a referrer to access development and investment funds managed by the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), now mostly through Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and local private enterprise firms. Today small business accountants may play a valuable role in assisting small companies but due to the inconsistent provision or complexity of company support services by Government small and medium sized enterprises need to widen their search for more hybrid company support organisations of today. Online services, like a business support finder will help locate specialist consulting services which are probably better suited to provide assitance in this matter than small business accountants. Management consultants can make it easier for company owners to bring in the right management advice and assistance to help achieve double-digit growth, often turning around organisations that have got caught in a downward spiral of dimishing returns and weakening competitive advantage and finding themsleves at the mercy of market conditions.

Every accountant, listed with us, including small business accountants, must hold the minimum recognised professional qualifications to provide qualified accounting services, conduct audits or to offer financial company advice to small and medium sized enterprises in the UK. They are bound by the Regulatory and Professional Accountancy Associations e.g. Institute of Chartered Accountants in England or Wales (ICAEW) or its regional equivalent in Scotland or Ireland. They qualify and quantify every piece of professional advice they offer and actions they take on your behalf, and they offer full professional indemnity insurance for your complete peace of mind.

Small Business Year End Planning

Because so many small businesses are organized as “flow-through” legal entities such as S-Corps and LLCs – meaning that business income is reported on the owner’s personal tax return – it is helpful to have the same person do all your tax preparation, Custer says. “If you don’t have one accountant working on your business [...]
