Two Great Resources for Choosing an Accountant

We’re always surprised at how many people don’t realise that anyone can call themselves an accountant.

To set up in business as accountant you need:

• No experience
• No qualifications
• No insurance
• No on-going training
• No professional body to complain to if things go badly

“Taking a chance with your finances is simply too risky”

Here’s what to do to protect yourself.

Follow HMRC Guidelines

HMRC have published a list of the professional bodies they recognise.

Pick an accountant that belongs to one of these.

Read the ICAEW Guide

The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales have published an 8 page guide “Don’t Take A Chance With Your Finances” which sets out why choosing a Chartered Accountant is so important.
