Understand what another pair of hands would mean for the business.

“A quieter month is coming.
What should we plan for?”

Prepared for a conversation,
not filed and forgotten.
Talk about your business ↗

A good working relationship
starts with clarity.

Can I switch from another accountant?

Start with the current arrangements, outstanding work and a sensible handover. Nothing moves before the scope is clear.

Will I need different software?

First look at the tools you use and the information you need. A change should solve a practical problem, rather than create one.

How would the fee work?

The scope depends on your records, business structure and support needs. This fictional concept does not publish live accounting fees.
