How To Choose Your Accountant

  What makes us right for your business?:

  1 You need a relationship of trust. You need to know that if an accountant makes
      a promise, he will keep it. We have all inclusive fixed prices which mean that
      come the end of the year, there will be no nasty surprises.

  2 Training: We provide full training right at the start to make sure that your book
      keeping is done correctly and that things like VAT and PAYE are maintained
      correctly.

  3 Support: We're always there for you to give guidance to help you through those
      difficult moments. Help is only a phonecall away, even at weekends.

  4 Locality: It isn't necessary to have an accountant that is just around the corner.
      Find a practice that is willing to come to your premises regulary and get an
      intimate feel for your business and get to know you and your employees. 

  5 Pricing: Find an accountant that explains his fees properly. Fees should be
     broken down by the type of work being performed. For instance the majority of 
     time spent is usually on routine book keeping which should be charged at a 
     relatively low rate. At Scott's we itemise everything properly, giving you full
     visibility of what you are paying for. 

  6 Qualifications: It isn't necessary to be formally qualified in order to practice as
     an accountant. However at Scott's we provide ourselves on the fact that all our
     partners are members of the chartered institute of management accountants,
     putting us in an ideal position to offer you the best service that we possibly can.
  
  7 Regular Information: The last thing you want is an accountant that shakes your
      hand once a year and says goodbye until next year end. At Scott's we offer
      monthly reporting at only a little more cost to yourself. Books have to be done at
      some point anyway, so why not have monthly management accounts to keep
      you up to date with how your business is performing
