Are you a start-up or existing business on the lookout for a new accountant?

SW&A has compiled five reasons why you should choose an accountant based in your local area.

Personal service

Providing a more personalised approach is a high priority for local accountants as it helps them to build long-lasting relationships and get to grips with your business goals. You’ll also benefit from direct, refreshingly jargon-free contact. As the SW&A team all work in the same office clients are never pushed from one department to another. We provide a personalised service and a dedicated file handler.

Convenience and accessibility

This gives clients peace of mind that they can drop in paperwork and, if they have time, pop in for a cuppa. If problems do occur, you don’t have to worry about unanswered emails or going through to voicemail, which saves you valuable time and allows you to concentrate on running your business.

Trust and reputation

You need to know your finances are in safe hands. Local firms come with a recommendation from like-minded businesses and good local accountants have usually built up a strong reputation within the local business community.

Local knowledge

With a local firm, you can expect invaluable local business knowledge. Using their understanding of trading conditions in your area, they will be able to help you grow your business.

Keeping you compliant 

Local accountants provide expert advice to organise your finances. This includes how to comply with financial rules and regulations, which will help you avoid unnecessary fines or penalties.
