Management & accounting
Choosing your
accountant
When choosing a chartered accountant, check their accountancy qualifications and registration with the National Association of Chartered Accountants. Accounting professionals who do not comply with these conditions are liable to heavy penalties. The choice of professional may also depend on your tax regime, legal status and the nature of your business.
The business owner or manager must be careful when selecting an accountant for the company. They should entrust this work to an accounting professional who understands their business needs. It can therefore be useful to seek expert accounting support from the company’s creation.
