Your bookkeeper or accountant plays a big role in keeping your business finances on track, but if they’re not meeting your needs, it might be time to make a change.
If you’ve ever found yourself saying…
- “My bookkeeper or accountant never explains anything to me.”
- “They filed an extension without telling me, even though I submitted everything on time.”
- “They don’t understand my industry.”
- “I can never get them to respond to my messages.”
…it may be time for a change.
What to Look for in a New Bookkeeper or Accountant
The right bookkeeper or accountant does more than just record numbers. They provide clear communication, proactive financial advice, and industry-specific knowledge to help your business grow. Look for someone who:
- Explains your financials in a way you understand so you always know where your business stands
- Keeps you informed about deadlines so there are no surprises
- Understands your industry and business needs to help you maximize financial opportunities
- Responds in a timely manner so you never feel left in the dark
