The simple points
to evaluate and compare Accounting services
Comparing accounting services is usually a difficult task for a
business owner. It appears one would need to BE an accountant in
order to have the needed expertise to really tell which service
would be the best for you.
But it isn't so. You can simply create a LIST of what YOU want and
need - and then simply ask different accounting firms how their
service meets with your requirements.
The important thing is to look at it solely from YOUR viewpoint
and not go into anything else.
On this page, we've compiled the most important points. Each point
gives a short introduction and leads to a full-length article.
Just pick the ones you agree with... and start calling!
How easy is it to understand
everything that the Accountant tells you?
A business owner is usually all too willing to accept
fault when he finds it hard to understand what his accountant is
telling him.
This is noble but not necessarily wise.
For what good is information that cannot be understood? Should YOU
have to become an Accounting Professional just so you could COMPREHEND
what your monthly accounts signify... or should it be the accountant
whose task it is to TELL you?
In the final analysis, isn't it the RESULTING UNDERSTANDING you
really pay for?
INSIDER TIP: If you DON'T understand what the accountant tells you,
if you find your mind wandering when he talks... consider whether
it'll get any better once you sign onto his services.
The degree of tailoring the
Accounting service to your individual needs and wishes?
There's a tremendous amount of insight available just with the BASIC
accounting services - but only if you demand for it.
It isn't the routine work of keeping books that is different firm
to firm. It is the degree of attention YOUR company is given - and
the willingness to tailor the service precisely according to your
individual needs and wishes.
What information do YOU need in particular? In which form, how often
- and how fast? What loses you money... what gives you an opportunity
to increase your turnover or profit?
There are a huge number of questions that must be asked before an
individually tailored accounting service can be even OFFERED.
INSIDER TIP: Obviously, the MORE the Accountant interviews and asks
you BEFORE he gives you a quote, the likelier the service he is
creating is to be tailored to your individual needs and wishes.
It needn’t be more expensive, mind you.
Is the Accountant monitoring
the Key Figures of your financial development on monthly basis?
If you are an expert in interpreting spreadsheets
and converting the figures in monthly accounts into understandable
monitoring of your finances, you might not need this service.
(If you are an expert but don't find the time to do it routinely
every month immediately upon receiving the previous month's figures,
then you may well WANT this service performed regardless!)
Obviously, the Key Figures must be tailored precisely according
to your own needs and wishes before they CAN be monitored, which
takes us back to the tailoring of accounting services.
To a business, the monitoring the Key Figures ROUTINELY and SOON
after the month's end is what headlights are to a car travelling
at 70 mph in the dark of the night.
The brighter the headlights, the better you see what lies ahead.
Avoiding barriers and utilising the fastest routes by orientating
correctly, knowing your exact position at all times... it all makes
a difference at the end of the day.
With dim or no lights, you CAN forge ahead. But it cannot but slow
you down - and increase the element of chance in reaching your set
goal.
Yet, the brightest of headlights can be EASILY obtained
from an accounting service.
It doesn't need to be very complicated at all. Even the simplest
of monitoring & reporting services will greatly decrease your
dependency on chance.
Does the Accounting service
include a monthly consultation to keep you updated on development
of your fiscal?
A simple monthly financial consulting service based on your monthly
accounts gives you an instant advantage over your competitors by
using an accountant to help analyze the monthly development
of different areas in your business.
It sounds more complicated than it is.
Here's what it is: Once a month, you sit down - face to face or
by telephone - and talk over the previous month's figures with your
accountant.
He should explain each of the Key Figure's ramifications to the
various activities and fields of your business. He should give you
the KNOWLEDGE of where you are, how last month compared with previous
months' output and the target you set for it... things like that.
The importance and VALUE of this type of informal once-a-month consultation
cannot be overstated. It has to be experienced to fully appreciate
how much EASIER it makes your work.
Decisions are hard only because we don't have exact data on which
to base the decision. With a monthly consultation like this you
will not only have the data - you will have a certainty beyond anything
you've experienced before.
And isn't that what running a business is really all about - the
attainment of CERTAINTY in as many subjects as possible?
He who is certain, knows. And if he has had his facts checked and
double-checked by an Accounting Professional, he is also going to
make easier and more correct decisions!
Are the benefits of the Accounting
service sufficient compared to your true potential?
The claimed and/or received benefits of an accounting services should,
of course, be evaluated in the light of true potentials.
Your true potential may be greater than you realize.
The true potential of accounting may also exceed the commonly recognized
degree.
Accounting often concentrates on the PROBLEM-side of things. But
that's really only HALF of the picture... and, definitely, the unpleasant
part.
But, where there's business activity, new opportunities are born
every month. There's always SOME positive trends developing in ANY
business activity - it would be impossible not to have BOTH good
and less-desirable trends in any activity.
Yet, we seldom search for those positive trends.
Imagine what it would mean to have your Accounting Professional
actively search for the good news every month, monitoring your accounts
so as to bring those good news and opportunities to you?
In fact, if all you'd do is to nip the problems at bud, that alone
would logically create circumstances wherein DOZENS of positive
trends would emerge.
And each of those would actually be the beginning of a very
profitable opportunity.
Nothing brings on success with more certainty than routinely finding
the POSITIVE developments in a business activity and strengthening
those consistently.
The difference in potential
makes it vital to define your own requirements & needs very
precisely.
A business owner and an accounting service are
not easy to match perfectly. While the technology of accounting
is standard, each accountant has his or her own methods, preferences
and service policies.
The challenge is matching your needs and wishes with a firm that
has similar methods and service.
The better YOU have defined your own requirements and wishes, the
likelier you are to find an accounting firm that matches what YOU
want.

service would serve YOUR needs and wishes best.
And now, you can find this out without ANY decision to change Accountants.
We know and respect the fact that you are not going to change
your accountant unless you are personally completely
convinced it would save you a considerable amount of time,
effort and expense.
You're welcome to use the information you receive in re-negotiating
your service agreement with your current Accountant.
