While it is true that accounting is not one of the most exciting aspects or running a business, it can be one of the most important!
The firm you choose to provide your accounting consulting can often mean success or failure in your business. Yes, it is that important! As a small business owner and consultant, I have seen far too many businesses go into business without having a good understanding of how they will track their success.
Accounting is the language of business and if you don’t know how to read a financial statement yet, I suggest that you learn how and fast. Take the time now to locate an accounting firm that will take the time to explain how to understand your profit and loss statement.
You will want to choose a firm that works with other small business owners in your industry. They will know what kinds of issues are important to your industry.
For example, if you are starting a restaurant business, they will understand issues like tip reporting, menu pricing analysis and sales tax audits.
If you are a construction company, they can help you with accounting for percentage completion contracts, labor laws and more. There are many very specific tax rules that apply to the construction industry and you will want to know that your accountant understands them and how they impact your business.
If you are the owner of a retail business, you will want to know that your accountant has worked with other retailers and knows about cash register tracking, inventory valuation and the importance of internal controls for your business.
