Using an accountant
Chartered Certified accountants are qualified accountants that can provide start-up businesses with a personal service. They can provide a 'one stop shop' by providing all the advice and help that a new business needs. The tradition of accountants only being interested in figures and tax has long gone. Chartered Certified accountants will advise you on all the bookkeeping, accounts and taxation implications of your business but their service goes well beyond this. As business advisers they can help in many other areas such as finance, business administration, employment law etc.
Chartered Certified accountants are backed up by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) - the largest and fastest-growing international accountancy body, with over 300,000 members and students in 160 countries. ACCA's headquarters are in London with an extensive network of around 70 staffed offices and other centres worldwide. ACCA monitors its members to ensure that high standards are maintained and provides its members with extensive resources to enable them to offer the best possible service to start-ups businesses.
