There is a significant misinterpretation and misunderstanding between the role of a bookkeeper and that of an accountant. If you don’t know the difference it can negatively impact upon you (possibly seriously). But if you understand each role and utilise them appropriately, it can be very helpful for your business.

Our business is mainly build on developing strong partnerships with people providing advice to small to medium sized businesses, it is from these relationships that we get referred most of our business. This obviously relies on us doing a great job and ensuring we are giving back to these referers so they maintain their credibility with their clients. How we do this is by having great staff who know their stuff and take pride in doing a good job. So, how do we attract the best staff and why do they like working with us?

A small business owner, almost by definition, does a lot of their own admin, marketing, sales, operations and accounts, but is that really what they got into business for?
From an outside perspective, if you don’t understand the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant, it may seem odd that a number of chartered accountants refer their clients to us.
