FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Stoke-on-Trent Accountants FAQ
When Would You Need to Use An Accountant
First of all, understanding the difference between a bookkeeper and accountant is important. A bookkeeper records daily transactions and maintains a general ledger. The accountant focuses on more high-level concepts, creating reports that bring key financial indicators together. Accountants also help business owners in understanding the impact of financial decisions (among many other responsibilities).
So when do you need to hire an accountant? An accountant is a valuable member of your business team, offering strategic financial advice, producing financial statements, and filing taxes.
Most businesses operate well with an outsourced accountant. Once you've reached £1 million in yearly revenue, it's probably time to think about hiring a full-time staff accountant.

Does a Startup or Small Business Need an Accountant
Having the advice of an accountant when you begin your business and set up all your accounts and management of transactions is a very wise investment, it gives you the best structure from the outset. Once it’s all set up, then you have to decide if you want to have the accountant actually recording the transactions and doing ongoing accounting, or if you think you can (and want to) do it yourself. The dilemna here is of course that accounting services cost money. But even if you don't use an accountant your accounting is not free. You will be spending time doing it yourself, and learning how to do properly. Choosing the right accountant will always be more cost effective – they will save you money and increase your profits.
You need to consider the fact that, even if you’re a qualified accountant yourself, it is a very laborious and time-consuming to manage either bookkeeping or preparing monthly management account statements. Then there is the question of how large and complex your business or profession is.
Make a mistake in your tax return and you could end up paying more in terms of penalties and interest.

Is it cost effective fo a small business to hire an accountant
In most cases it is not only cost effective, it is essential. Unless you have accounting knowledge and skills, you will likely make expensive mistakes that will cost far more than the accountancy service. For example, as a minimum you must have some sort of accounting system, to keep track of your income and expenses in an organised way so you can accurately report them to the Inland Revenue and other interested parties – for example to lenders if you need to raise business finance.
But, you likely don’t need to hire a full time internal accountant. As a minimum you should consider getting an accountant to help you set up the business, file the necessary paperwork, then to complete your taxes and payroll on an ongoing basis.
A lot of small businesses have an accountant to also provide the bookkeeping service to enter all the expenses and income items for them, as this can be quite time consuming and take your focus away from actually running your business

Here are Some Tips Shared by Accountants in
Stoke-on-Trent…
What are the Benefits of a Chartered Accountant
Accounting is the basis of all business decisions. Effective decision-making often makes the difference between various degrees of business success/failure. If you don’t have an internal accountant or at a minimum accounting software an experienced accountant will develop the financial reports that describe your financial position, the results of your operations and your cash flows. So any business large or small, will benefit from working with a professional accountant. Often small business owners feel they work so closely with their businesses that they don’t need someone to tell them those things. However your financial position and results of operations are based on accruals and deferrals and without a clear understanding of how that affects your financial position, results of your operations and your cash flows all you truly understand is how much cash came in and how much went out.
A quality accountant will also help you to interpret the financial statements for your business and help to keep them accurate if you prepare them in house. He can tell you about the cycles of your business, helping you to understand when you have to increase or decrease inventories. He can help you to understand trends so even if you are taking money in, it doesn’t necessarily mean your business is growing. He can help you to use your financial reports to determine If there are expenses you could better control and where you can afford to make cuts. And a quality accountant can help you to understand the maze of constantly changing income and sales tax laws that affect your business. No business can be optimally successful without an accountant helping them. And their fees are tax deductible as an operating expense.
An accountant can improve resource allocation decisions by developing financial analyses that shed light upon various decision alternatives.
A statement worth considering: “Not all revenue is created equal”.
Seems obvious, but even if you have a management team, they can too often fixate on generating revenue without regard to the direct, indirect, and strategic costs of generating that revenue. Hence, profits decline even as revenue increases. Is that always bad? No. Would it be useful to understand the economic factors at play before committing resources? Yes.
