How to find a good accountant?

Finding a good accountant or a good bookkeeping office is not as easy as it may seem, but it is extremely important for every company. It has a direct impact on financial matters and therefore the financial result of every business activity. It may seem that every accountant or accounting office should perform the assigned tasks in the same way and they are comparable. However, this is not the case.

  1. What you need

You must first identify your needs, what and what type of accounting services you need (full accounting, simplified accounting, or handling HR and payroll matters, etc.).

  1. Type of cooperation with the accountant

Think about how you want to hire an accountant, whether under an employment contract (higher costs), a contract for services (lower costs), or whether you want to establish cooperation with an accounting office. These issues are related to the size of your company and the scope of its demand for accounting services and possibly HR and payroll services.

  1. Accountant (accounting office) by recommendation

Recommendation from friends is a good way to find a good accountant (accounting office). We suggest being careful when obtaining this type of information from internet forums.

  1. Knowledge and experience

Some accountants have certificates issued by the Minister of Finance, which are no longer issued but remain valid, confirming the authorization to provide accounting services. In the absence of such a certificate, you can ask for information on education, period of practice as an accountant, type and names of entities for which the accountant (accounting office) provided (provides) accounting services.

  1. Costs of accounting and (possibly) HR and payroll services

Check exactly how much it will cost you to maintain your company’s accounting, watch out for so-called additional services that sometimes do not fit into the basic price list. Issues regarding costs must be very transparent.

  1. Agreement with an accountant (accounting office)

Ask them to send you a template agreement for the provision of accounting and (possibly HR and payroll) services. The agreement should be clear, transparent, contain a short notice period and should not contain contractual penalties that could burden you in the cases specified in the agreement. The agreement should be friendly, partnership-based.

The principles presented above are basic but very important. Taking them into account will help you find a good accountant (accounting office).

One of the accounting offices that tries to be a partner for its clients, where you will not find hidden price lists or an unreliable, illegible and unclear agreement, you will not find dishonesty in the relations between the accounting office and the client is the accounting office PRWT Księgowość i Obsługa biznesu sp. z o.o. This accounting office provides its accounting and HR and payroll services to both Polish and foreign clients in Krakow and Warsaw.
