 The
simple points to evaluate and compare Accounting services
Comparing accounting services
is usually a difficult task for a business owner. It appears
one would need to BE an accountant in order to have the needed
expertise to really tell which service would be the best for
you.
But it isn't so. You can simply
create a LIST of what YOU want and need - and then simply ask
different accounting firms how their service meets with your
requirements.
The important thing is to look
at it solely from YOUR viewpoint and not go into anything else.
On this page, we've compiled
the most important points. Each point gives a short introduction
and leads to a full-length article.
Just pick the ones you agree
with... and start calling!
 A
business owner is usually all too willing to accept fault when
he finds it hard to understand what his accountant is telling
him.
This is noble but not necessarily
wise.
For what good is information
that cannot be understood? Should YOU have to become an Accounting
Professional just so you could COMPREHEND what your monthly accounts
signify... or should it be the accountant whose task it is to
TELL you?
In the final analysis, isn't
it the RESULTING UNDERSTANDING you really pay for?
INSIDER TIP: If you DON'T understand
what the accountant tells you, if you find your mind wandering
when he talks... consider whether it'll get any better once you
sign onto his services.

There's a tremendous amount
of insight available just with the BASIC accounting services
- but only if you demand for it.
It isn't the routine work of
keeping books that is different firm to firm. It is the degree
of attention YOUR company is given - and the willingness to tailor
the service precisely according to your individual needs and
wishes.
What information do YOU need
in particular? In which form, how often - and how fast? What
loses you money... what gives you an opportunity to increase
your turnover or profit?
There are a huge number of
questions that must be asked before an individually tailored
accounting service can be even OFFERED.
INSIDER TIP: Obviously, the
MORE the Accountant interviews and asks you BEFORE he gives you
a quote, the likelier the service he is creating is to be tailored
to your individual needs and wishes.
It need'nt be more expensive,
mind you.

 If
you are an expert in interpreting spreadsheets and converting
the figures in monthly accounts into understandable monitoring
of your finances, you might not need this service.
(If you are an expert but don't
find the time to do it routinely every month immediately upon
receiving the previous month's figures, then you may well WANT
this service performed regardless!)
Obviously, the Key Figures
must be tailored precisely according to your own needs and wishes
before they CAN be monitored, which takes us back to the tailoring
of accounting services.
To a business, the monitoring
the Key Figures ROUTINELY and SOON after the month's end is what
headlights are to a car travelling at 70 mph in the dark of the
night.
The brighter the headlights,
the better you see what lies ahead. Avoiding barriers and utilising
the fastest routes by orientating correctly, knowing your exact
position at all times... it all makes a difference at the end
of the day.
With dim or no lights, you
CAN forge ahead. But it cannot but slow you down - and increase
the element of chance in reaching your set goal.
Yet, the brightest of headlights
can be EASILY obtained from an accounting service.
It doesn't need to be very
complicated at all. Even the simplest of monitoring & reporting
services will greatly decrease your dependency on chance.

of your choice includes defining and monitoring your Key Financial
Figures on monthly basis!
A simple monthly financial
consulting service based on your monthly accounts gives you an
instant advantage over your competitors by using an accountant
to help analyse the monthly development of different areas
in your business.
It sounds more complicated
than it is.
Here's what it is: Once a month,
you sit down - face to face or by telephone - and talk over the
previous month's figures with your accountant.
He should explain each of the
Key Figure's ramifications to the various activities and fields
of your business. He should give you the KNOWLEDGE of where you
are, how last month compared with previous months' output and
the target you set for it... things like that.
The importance and VALUE of
this type of informal once-a-month consultation cannot be overstated.
It has to be experienced to fully appreciate how much EASIER
it makes your work.
Decisions are hard only because
we don't have exact data on which to base the decision. With
a monthly consultation like this you will not only have the data
- you will have a certainty beyond anything you've experienced
before.
And isn't that what running
a business is really all about - the attainment of CERTAINTY
in as many subjects as possible?
He who is certain, knows. And
if he has had his facts checked and double-checked by an Accounting
Professional, he is also going to make easier and more correct
decisions!

 The
claimed and/or received benefits of an accounting services should,
of course, be evaluated in the light of true potentials.
Your true potential may be
greater than you realise.
The true potential of accounting
may also exceed the commonly recognised degree.
Accounting
often concentrates on the PROBLEM-side of things. But that's
really only HALF of the picture... and, definitely, the unpleasant
part.
But, where
there's business activity, new opportunities are born every month.
There's always SOME positive trends developing in ANY business
activity - it would be impossible not to have BOTH good and less-desirable
trends in any activity.
Yet, we seldom
search for those positive trends.
Imagine what
it would mean to have your Accounting Professional actively search
for the good news every month, monitoring your accounts so as
to bring those good news and opportunities to you?
In fact, if
all you'd do is to nip the problems at bud, that alone would
logically create circumstances wherein DOZENS of positive trends
would emerge.
And each of
those would actually be the beginning of a very profitable
opportunity.
Nothing brings
on success with more certainty than routinely finding the POSITIVE
developments in a business activity and strengthening those consistently.

The difference
in potential makes it vital to define your own requirements &
needs very precisely
A business owner and an accounting
service are not easy to match perfectly. While the technology
of accounting is standard, each accountant has his or her own
methods, preferences and service policies.

needs and wishes with a firm that has similar methods and service.

your own requirements and wishes, the likelier you are to find
an accounting firm that matches what YOU want.

something totally unique — a guide in layman terms for business
owners so that you can evaluate the benefits and your own needs
without any prior knowledge of accountancy.

will help you define PRECISELY which kind of accounting service
would benefit your needs and wishes best. It will also answer
most of the questions YOU have on Accounting and finance.

YOUR needs and wishes best.
