Most business owners know when they need an accountant, but they do not realize how important the task is or how much their results can vary. No other job position outside of your own is going to affect your bottom line like an accountant and contrary to common belief, the job is not just about crunching numbers. A good accountant or accountancy firm must know how to crunch numbers that will allow them to provide practical suggestions from useful information that will pave the way for you to make accurate business decisions.
For an accountant to be your MVP, they must have a drive to learn your business inside and out. They will also be very helpful and approachable instead of trying to impress you with their extensive vocabulary and knowledge. But before anything can take place, there must first stand a solid foundation. This strong vital foundation is good book keeping. The most complex formulas in the world are useless with bad numbers. However, it is completely your option whether you want to keep your books separately or have your accountancy firm keep them for you. Some Accountants and/or Accountancy Firms will even train you or your staff if you would like to take over the books at a later date.
Good bookkeeping involves recording all cash and bank transactions with regular reconciliation's, recording all purchase invoices and payments while producing monthly payment due reports, recording all sales and payments while producing monthly statements and also preparing quarterly VAT Returns if applicable. You can also have the same firm maintain your payroll for your employees. Last but not least you will need management accounts prepared monthly, quarterly or half yearly. A one stop accountancy firm can be very convenient reliving you from the above work, which allows you to do what you do best.
With proper records, a great accountant can work wonders for your business. Practical advice supported by useful information will definitely pave the way for you to make more accurate business decisions. Then you will truly see that a good accountant really can easily be the MVP of your business.
