Your questions, answered
Accounting FAQs.
Practical answers to help you prepare for the first conversation.
For guidance specific to your circumstances, share a short outline of what you need.
1. What is included in accounting support?
The agreed package can cover bookkeeping, reconciliations and financial reporting. Confirm the accounts, periods and reports included.
2. Can you bring old accounts up to date?
A backlog review can establish the available records, missing information and work required for each period.
3. Can you use my existing software?
Share the software name and current setup so compatibility and access arrangements can be confirmed.
4. How often should I receive reports?
Choose a reporting frequency that suits your activity and management needs. Monthly reporting can be discussed as part of the scope.
5. Is tax filing included?
Only when expressly included. Accounting and tax preparation responsibilities should be clearly separated in the proposal
6. Is an audit included?
No independent audit is implied by accounting support. An audit requires a separate, appropriate engagement.
7. What if an invoice is missing?
Flag it early. The accounting treatment and further evidence needed should be reviewed rather than assuming the transaction is fully supported.
8. Can I keep an internal accountant?
Yes. Responsibilities can be divided between your team and the agreed external support.
9. How much does ongoing accounting cost?
Fees depend on volumes, record quality, entities and reporting needs. Share these details for a meaningful quote.
10. How do I send documents?
Agree a secure collection method and regular submission schedule before sharing financial records.
