Are you making these 7 common mistakes when choosing your accountant?

1. Are you treating your accountant as more than just a service provider? a supplier

While it’s true that you should take more time choosing your accountant than perhaps where you

order your office supplies from, still you have to remember that your accountant is there to serve you! And you have a lot of choice! Have you looked to see whether you’re getting the best deal and service from your accountant recently? Maybe it’s time you had a look to see if you’re getting the best service, best value for money and the best support you and your business need.

2. Are your internal systems creating more work for your accountant, and therefore costing you more?

If your accountancy fees have gone up, one of the most common reasons is extra work needed to correct mistakes made by poorly trained employees. Investing in ‘cleaning’ up your bookkeeping and payroll can make a huge difference to the performance of your business and is crucial with regards to your cash flow.

3. Are you able to contact the top people (especially partners) in the accountancy firm you use?

If you’ve ever had an initial meeting with a partner, then subsequently found yourself dealing with underlings – or even worse, voicemail! – it may be time you considered a switch. What you need is the assurance of an experienced and proactive partner who understands your business and works with you to reach your goals.

4. Are you missing out by not using added value services?

You need more from your accountant than just legal compliance. However, only a few accountants have actually stepped up to the mark and actively developed resources and skills to benefit you. Added value services are important because they will make a positive difference to both the performance of your business and your bottom line. If your accountant can help you prepare your business for the future and deal with liabilities along the way, then your business is going to prosper.

Have you appointed a firm that’s too large, meaning you’re paying too much in fees and aren’t getting decent service? Maybe you went direct to a firm that looks and/or sounds great or has a ‘name’.

6. Are you using a firm that is too small for you?

If you’ve been successful in business, then you’re bound to have grown. Sadly, your accountants may not have grown in the same time. Maybe the time has come where you must move on in order to do your business justice and protect your growth.

7. Do you have a clear financial plan for your business?

Even if your business is profitable, financial planning might be on your to-do list, but never really get done. And yet, it’s when you’re busy and successful that you most need to make those plans – because if you suddenly find your profits dry up your financial planning will become ‘crisis management’. You need your accountant to help you build a financially robust and ambitious plan for your business. With the right accountant on board, you’ll have the detailed (yet understandable!) management accounts and information you need in order to make dynamic decisions making and develop a clear vision for your future?

We started as a single, Mumbai- based office that was established by Mr. Ramesh B Shetty & Sunil R Shetty in 1994. From that humble beginning, the Firm went on to become a multi faceted firm with a wide gamut of services to offer.

Ask people what comes to mind first when they think about CA firms and they are likely say “assurance services.” The value of the financial audits and reviews we undertake for owners, lenders and shareholders is indeed widely recognized, and we are justly proud of our solid reputation in this area.

We view our profession as being not merely about numbers, but about people, their personal prosperity and their business prosperity. In other words, our approach is not just about “looking back” but also looking forward! Whatever your needs, aims or problems may be, we are wholly committed to providing - and building – added value in a friendly and personal way. Perhaps the best way to get a feel for us is to look at our Mission and Guiding Principles.
