Business can fail in many ways. They can fail outright and never recover, or they can fail to grow to their full potential. In most of these cases, the accountant should, at least in part, be answerable. 

I’ve seen businesses fail because of an “unexpected” large tax bill. While we work in our businesses, it’s easy to miss the one thing that drives it to work – the flow of money. If that stops then the business stops working.

While it’s the responsibility of the business owner to be on top of that, the accountant’s role is to make the flow of money visible so that planning and actions can be taken based on reality rather than on guess work. 

The accountant’s responsibility is to take care of the year end financials and tax return for you. In this role we make observations. An accountant who is actively involved in your business will enable you to progress faster and safer. If you drop off your accounts once a year to an accountant and then wait for for reports and tax bills you don’t understand – it might be time to consider a change.

I work with you to make the flow of money visible, looking back and ahead, giving you the insight to act with foresight and the time to implement, purchase, sell, employ, dismiss, produce or service – all the other things that make your business successful.
