Why should small businesses hire an accountant?

Often you will hear small business owners talking about their need for an accountant during tax time - but, small business owners can benefit in a number of ways from the professional expertise of accountants Conwy, who aren’t just trained in ‘number crunching’ but also in analysing the financial data, reporting on it and then making recommendations that can then result in the business becoming more profitable in the long term. 




Responsibilities of an Accountant


The responsibilities of an accountant can drastically vary from company to company, but in typical circumstances they are responsible for:




  • Data Management




Your accountant is responsible for ensuring that your business's financial data is properly stored, managed and updated accurately. Your accountant will also ensure that the proper and accurate procedures are in place for data entry and that the accounting software system being used is secure, modern and backed up on a regular basis. 






  • Financial Analysis & Consultation




If you’ve ever been in a meeting where someone has said something along the lines of “let's get the bean counters in here for advice before we make a final decision”, there’s a good reason for it. When it comes to making decisions that will involve the future of your small business, your accountant could be your best resource. This could be as simple as getting some tips on how best to proceed with spending in the next fiscal quarter, or it’s a question regarding expenditure, or it could be that you need some help deciphering the financial jargon in a business document. 






  • Financial Reports




Have you heard of a “cash flow statement” or a “profit and loss report”? These are reports that allow you to stay on top of the business’s money. If you have investors, they are going to be making decisions based on the reports that your accountant provides, so they need to be up to date and highly accurate. 






  • Regulatory Compliance




Is your business in a sector which has lots of rules and regulations that affect your small business? Going through an audit? Or is it tax time? An accountant can handle all these headaches for you, and ensure that your income and expense reporting follows all laws set out.
