What I want from my accountant
Access to a book-keeper unless I have a team member who does that or a local freelancer
Monthly P&L prepared within 10 days of the month end
Quarterly meeting to discuss overall financial strategy & tactics
Lots of ideas
Plenty of notice on forthcoming tax liabilities
A nag if I’m not doing things well
A friend whose company I enjoy
Somebody who “gets” me, “gets” business and doesn’t castigate me when I make entrepreneurial decisions that go wrong.
