Over the years, I've been surprised by people's attitudes towards accountants, which tends to veer from contempt to fear. In order to dispel the idea that an accountant is a necessary evil, I decided to write this book.
Accountants Don't Bite demonstrates how to develop an excellent relationship with your accountant and how you can work together to improve your business.
Accountants Don't Bite will:
- Explain what you should expect from your accountant and how to choose one who is right for you.
- Show you how to improve your relationship with your accountant so that you work together in taking your business to the next level.
- List the key questions you should ask your accountant.
- Detail the information your accountant will need from you.
- Advise ways to monitor and manage your accounts.
- Explain the difference between being a sole trader and the director of a limited company.
Accountants Don't Bite includes:
- Real life examples.
- Lists of what your accountant needs from you as a sole trader or limited company.
- Examples of key performance indicators and the formulae to calculate them.
- Templates for Income & Expenditure, Reimbursement of Personal Expenditure, Annual Budget, and Profit & Loss.
- A plain English glossary of accountancy terms.
My aim in writing this book is for you to go away feeling more in control of the relationship with your accountant. By giving you guidance and a better understanding of your accounts, you will be able to recognise whether your accountant gives you the support that you require.
