How to Spot A Great Tradie Accountant

The Search For a Real Tradie Expert

As a tradie, working with the right business experts is critical. Whilst you are busy on the tools and doing what you do best, you want the peace of mind knowing your business is financially safe and compliant, and that means finding the right tradie accountant to work with.

But how do you pick one if there are thousands around? And how do you find a true tradie expert? Check out these tips.

1. Find out! Does the accountant specialise in tradesmen services?

Having an accountant that deals with lots of tradies simply means they are more likely to speak the same language and have an appreciation of the challenges you face as a business operator.

They may also have great insights into what other tradies are doing with their business which can be hugely valuable to you.

So always ask!

2. Can they help you as an advisor?

Business finance can get complicated and it’s not easy to work with cash flows, balance sheets and profit and loss statements.

An ordinary accountant can prepare the numbers and hand it over to you to “figure it all out on your own”.

A great accountant, however, is more like a trusted advisor and a true business partner. They will go the extra mile to:

• Explain to you exactly what the numbers mean
• Advise on possible areas where you can save money
• Try and understand your short and long term goals like buying more equipment and refinancing in order to ensure you are financially ready for that.

So don’t go for ordinary!

3. Find a tradie accountant from reputable online sites
