I'm A Start-Up Business, Do I Need A Business Accountant?

So, now you have your own business and you are paying the first of your bills. Seeing the money go out of your bank can be hard so the last thing you want to do is think of more ways to lose money. We see that it may be risky for you because, at this stage of your business, you don’t know how well you will perform so you’re trying to cut as many unnecessary costs as possible. This is one of the biggest reasons why start-up businesses do not hire business accountants from the very start - they see hiring a business accountant as an expense rather than an investment.

Business plans
As a start-up business, it can be scary because you’re starting from scratch and things may confuse you a little, and that’s perfectly fine. That’s why having someone who understands and has been in the business landscape for a long time can help. Having a business accountant around allows you to seek professional advice because they can give you insights from their past experiences.

Budgeting
We cannot tell you how many times we hear businesses say “we went over the budget”. It’s a very common situation to be in but something every business wants to avoid. A business accountant can help you draw up a realistic budget that is based on your business’ position and resources to ensure your needs are met while keeping you profitable.

A foot in the right direction from the start
Usually, businesses will hire business accountants when their performance is weak and need professional help to recover the loss experienced. Having an accountant from the start just makes it easier for you to get your business running correctly and efficiently. Don’t wait until you find yourself in a pit to ask for him because by then, it’ll be harder to get out of it. Like we said from the start, a business accountant should be looked at as an investment.

They understand you from the very beginning
When you’re bringing someone for the first time, it can be difficult for them to grasp what is happening and for you, it is time-consuming because you have to catch them up to speed. Whereas if they are there from the start, they learn and grow with you and your business.

They have the experience you need
At the end of the day, business accountants are professionals - they know how to do their job well. They have extensive knowledge of the business landscape from a financial point of view. This is highly effective for your start-up business because you are entering a market for the first time and it can be quite challenging so, having an expert on the side to guide you can be helpful.
