Is It Time to Switch Bookkeepers or Accountants? Here’s How to Know

Your bookkeeper or accountant plays a big role in keeping your business finances on track, but if they’re not meeting your needs, it might be time to make a change. If you’ve ever found yourself saying:

• "My bookkeeper or accountant never explains anything to me."

• "They filed an extension without telling me, even though I submitted everything on time."

• "They don’t understand my industry."

• "I can never get them to respond to my messages."

What to Look for in a New Bookkeeper or Accountant

The right bookkeeper or accountant does more than just record numbers. They provide clear communication, proactive financial advice, and industry-specific knowledge to help your business grow. Look for someone who:

• Explains your financials in a way you understand so you always know where your business stands

• Keeps you informed about deadlines and tax obligations so there are no surprises

• Understands your industry and business needs to help you maximize deductions and financial opportunities

• Responds in a timely manner so you never feel left in the dark

A great bookkeeper or accountant is a partner in your success, keeping your finances organized, tax-ready, and stress-free.
