10. How To Get The Most Out of Your Accountant
In this episode of Finance Fix, Lucy Starbuck dives into the world of working with accountants.
The key message? You want a collaborator, not a dictator. Lucy emphasizes the importance of shopping around ā get at least three quotes from different accountants to compare fees and services offered.
Don't be shy about negotiating to find the best fit for your budget.
Lucy also encourages you to consider your own needs. For simple businesses, learning basic bookkeeping yourself can be a great way to save money and gain a deeper understanding of your finances.
If you do outsource, keep in mind it might be something you can take back on later to save costs and have more control.
Looking for extra help? Lucy offers her Finance Fix course and Q&A calls as resources for business owners who want to sharpen their financial and bookkeeping skills.
