If you work with one accountant on day-to-day business administration and financial planning, but defer to a specialist tax accountant when the year-end rolls around, it's a good idea to ensure open lines of communication exist between the two.
After all, good communication is crucial if you're to maximize the value of your relationship with your accountants.
And having access to - and understanding - the right accounting data can make all the difference when you need to make important decisions for your business.
That's why, when it comes to minimizing your tax liabilities, it's sometimes not enough to just let your tax accountant lead the discussion. If you're bombarded with jargon or asked questions you don't understand, you may not see the value in working with a specialist tax accountant.
But it doesn't have to be like that.

We take a different approach
As you would expect, we understand accounting jargon - but we don't like to use it when talking with our clients. We'll use language you understand to bridge the gap between your financial data and your decision making process.
Likewise, we can communicate with your tax accountant on your behalf, sending them the necessary information and fielding any questions they might have.
Fluent in 'accounting speak', we are better placed to answer tax-specific questions, and translate those answers to help you better understand the impact on your business.

A better workflow
Our focus is on making your life easier as a business owner. Rather than ask you to adopt a one-size-fits-all process that might not work for you, we want to build a workflow specific to the needs of your business.
We do this by integrating the systems and apps that will help you overcome the challenges you face, and by helping you move your financial operations to the cloud.
Using cloud-based platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, and InvoiceSherpa, we can streamline your day-to-day administration.
And from there, we can make sure both you and your tax accountant have access to the right reports and most up-to-date financial data, saving you both plenty of time in the process.

Talk to us about your approach to accounting
Using a specialist tax accountant can often pay dividends for small businesses. They are experts in their field, and they know the IRS like the back of their hands.
But without a joined up approach with regards to communication and financial data, their expertise can often go to waste.
We can help you make the most of utilizing a tax accountant - or recommend one from our network, if you don't already have one - in order to minimize your tax liabilities.
