How to: Get More From Your Accountant
Bridging the gap between the business owner and their accountant
I was recently interviewed by Melissa at the International Accounting Bulletin where I shared how I want accountants to get acquainted with what she refers to as the ‘C’ word to they can help their client more (not just talk about it). Accountants should be helping their clients get more out of their services!
Here’s the article. Some accountants may want to look away!
As a Chartered Management Accountant with a law degree and a post-graduate degree in information systems management, Christine Nicholson has experience across business operations and maximising back-office activities such as finance, HR, IT and legal/statutory requirements.
She brings a wider understanding of how business works and the strategies to optimise its value, and will be presenting ‘How to get a better Understanding of Your Client’, at Digital Accountancy Forum on 17th June 2021.
“It’s not just the business owner’s job to learn the language of the accountant but the other way around too. “Some of my typical clients are engineering companies, who have to invest in huge pieces of equipment and know that that piece of equipment is going to give them a return on investment. And 90% will go by gut feeling when making those decisions.
“Now their accountant can help them understand how they calculate Return On Investment, not just by using numbers but by helping them to understand risk and risk profiles.”
