Is your accountant actually working for you?
Eighteen questions, about four minutes, and you get a score for each of the six things an accountant is paid to do — plus what to ask yours about the ones that came out low.
- A score for each of the six areas
- The three things to ask about your lowest one
- Written up and emailed to you
Where do we send your scores?
Six things, and the one to raise first
Three of them are the reasons people actually leave an accountant: the filing was late, nobody rang back, or a bill turned up they had not agreed to.
Deadlines
Whether things get filed on time without you chasing
Tax
Whether anyone plans it, or just reports it afterwards
Your numbers
Whether you see them in time to use them
Cash
Knowing what is coming as well as what has gone
Advice
Whether anyone is thinking about your business, or only recording it
Being looked after
Whether you can reach them and know what you pay
