January brings hope, new aspirations and a chance to take action. Many of us spent the holiday season reviewing what worked well and what didn’t the year prior and made plans for how to improve things this year. Along with giving up sugar and losing weight, financial goals tend to be top of the list! And for small business owners the goals are often around better financial systems and processes, better tax strategies, and better understanding of overall financial position.

To make these improvements, however, you need to start with the right numbers - (where am I now) and then get the right roadmap (what is the plan), and then know when you’ve hit the right goals (how do I measure my success).So, you need the right financial advice.

Is your current accountant the right person for the job?

Signs you might be ready for a new accountant:

1. You’re in the dark about your business finances
   You’re embarrassed to admit you don’t know your true numbers. You’re not sure where all the money is going or how to read the reports.
2. Your accountant is not proactive
   The compliance box is checked, but you get nothing more. Nada.
3. You’re too much IN the business and not enough ON the business
   The processes and structures are not in place for you to effectively work on growing the business.
4. Your accountant comms is non-existent
   You struggle to get in touch with your accountant and when you do, they just want to number crunch

If you’re nodding your head right now it could be time to make the move to a new accountant. You want this to be a great year in business, not just another one filled with financial confusion and one step forward-two steps backward. So don’t wait another moment to make a positive change for your financial future.
