It was said that if you are going to change accountant, then change to a good accountant. But, what defines a good accountant?
A good accountant will have two service areas of excellence:

- Post final accounts.At the risk of becoming too clinical in our definition, below is a tick-list portrayal of what should be considered for these two areas.
* Work to fixed fees, (no more surprise bills)
* Aim to have work completed within 4 weeks
* Reply to every telephone message the day you call us; usually within 90 minutes.
* Keep you fully informed about what’s happening on your affairs, and complete every task on or ahead of time – so that you never have to chase us.
* Provide management accounts and key information for superior business growth and profit development
* Show you where the money went – pin down high-expense areas.
