Outgrown your current advisors?

“There’s no planning – everything seems to be reactive”

Many of our clients were previously serviced by very small accountancy practices. Typically, they may have been with the same firm since they began trading – an arrangement which suited their needs perfectly well until their business began to grow.

Recognising the need to move to a larger practice isn’t always straightforward. These are some of  the warning signs that eventually led clients to look towards Kirk Newsholme:

• Everything seems to be done at the last minute
• Business decisions made without detailed and timely accounting information
• Late filing penalties incurred when the information was provided to the accountant months earlier
• Surprise tax payments – creating cash flow issues
• Lack of personal attention
• Shortage of tax-focused advice
• Old fashioned working practices
• Lack of input on non-routine issues
• Calls not returned promptly
• Less familiar with the needs of growing firms – the accountant’s client base is mainly small, non-growth business
