There can be many reasons why a business would consider changing accountants.
-
All business owners are passionate about their company and it is only natural that they would want everyone connected to their business to be passionate as well.
-
SME’s in particular want to feel that their business advisors are extended business partners. They want their extended partners involved, not only to sort things out if something goes wrong, but also to be actively involved in the business on a regular basis to help them grow and meet their aspirations for their company.
-
What is required is an individual or a team that have a full range of business knowledge that they can impart to their clients over the full spectrum of the most important business areas, specifically accounting, financial management, marketing, business development and strategic thinking. Most business owners are entrepreneurial in focus but very few would have all of these attributes.
Working with great accountants and knowledgeable business accountants is critical and can make the difference between taking the right path from the start or learning the hard way. Great business advisors can make all the different. Changing advisors has never been easier with technology allows records and documentation to be transferred electronically and past obligations recorded through online systems. Businesses up skill all the time so don’t settle for second best just because changing requires a little but of effort. Make the positive change today and it will be onward and upward from there on.
Some questions to ask yourself when analysing whether you are currently getting the service you require may include:
- Have you outgrown your current accountant in terms of knowledge and growth assistance?
- Are your calls or enquiries being returned the same day?
- Are your business advisors making themselves available to meet with you as often as required?
- Are they forthcoming with proactive advice and strategies or do they only get in contact to answer your specific queries?
- Do you have full confidence in your accountant? Are they able to deal with any issue that arises? In a time efficient manner?
- Do your financial advisors keep themselves up to date on all business matters and adapt their practices to reflect the modern business environment that you operate in?
- Do you get the feeling that your company is an important client to your business advisors or do you feel like the small fish in the pond?
- Are you getting good value and excellent service for the fees you are paying?
- When you have a query do you get clear and precise advice that you can understand or do you get industry jargon that leaves you more confused after the call than before?

Scenarios:
Yes Avid Partners have two divisions of the company. We have an accountancy division that handles your day to day financial necessities and we also have an advisory division to assist companies develop their businesses. This can include consultancy, marketing and guidance when required. We can act as a Chairperson for your organisation if required and can also take away some of the day to day pressures that can restrict growth and slow development. Avid Partners can help with both of the critical aspects of a company, keeping costs down as much as possible and growing revenues exponentially. Technology companies need patience in developing their visions and an involved day to day partner is the best way of keeping a good business balance.
It is a common problem for companies who are in a situation where their business is growing in real terms (users, visitors) but sales is not matching the other growth metrics as traditionally sales lags behind growth (Twitter, Linked In, etc). So what do you do? Every business needs access to finance to pay operating costs which gives the company time to develop future revenue streams. Thankfully the situation is getting better with many tech friendly finance options coming on stream such as micro financing, crowd funding and government agencies are also starting to show support interests.
Every company starts out small with very limited resources at the beginning of the project. The key is to make the most from the resources you have and to seek out alliances, support systems and working partners. Start ups face many challenges including access to capital, regulatory requirements, economies of scale. We can help you develop your concept and will assist in every way possible from accountancy and day to day support to advisory services and raising finance. We can assist in a number of ways and have a portfolio of growing small companies that we help on an on-going basis.

As a small business experiencing growth Ortus Technology found itself in need of guidance. We weren't sure how to measure our company, how to grow within our budget or what our budget actually was. Avid Partners looked at our business, listened to us and got us to provide them with some information.
