How much are accountant fees for a small business?
The costs of hiring small business accountants will differ depending on various factors, such as the size of your business, the services you require and the complexity of your business's needs. Most small business accountants will charge a monthly or hourly fee, providing you with more financial flexibility than hiring a full-time accountant.
In the early stages of growing a successful business, it can benefit sole traders and small limited companies to outsource their accounting needs.
Ascott Blake aims to make accounting more accessible for you. In addition to our full-suite accountancy services for small businesses, we provide one-time online accounting and consultation services for those looking to get faster results without the cost of hiring in-house.
What type of accounting services does a small business need?
The specific accounting services you might require as a small business will vary depending on your industry, size and financial goals. You may find that you need a comprehensive set of accountancy services or just the basics to start with.
Bookkeeping is one of the first and most important accounting services to consider. It keeps you compliant with tax regulations, helps you make informed financial decisions and sets the foundations for good financial practice. Once your books are in order, you can benefit from more focused accountancy services such as tax planning, payroll, and management accounts.
