Is it important to hire a qualified accountant?
Yes it is. We are regulated by South African Institute of Tax Professionals (SAIT) and comply with certain standards and have undertaken a rigorous training program to achieve our accountancy qualifications. We know what we are doing and have the best experience and training to provide the best accountancy and business advice. When you use someone who isn’t qualified, you take a risk and it can prove to be expensive in the long term..
Which accounting software is good for my business?
There are a lot of accountancy softwares available and most of them have similar functions. We can advise on what is most suited to your business and discuss the pros and cons of each. It is best to have these discussions early, as it can be difficult to change over once you have started using one. It can also be costly to the business if the accountancy software isn’t right..
What really makes Leozzy Accounting different from other top firms of accountants locally?
We like to think that our clients genuinely enjoy dealing with us. At times, and depending on who you talk to, our profession can be described as being a little “dry”! Ultimately though, our clients stay with us for many years because they get on with the people who they speak to on a regular basis.
We’re also very transparent about our fees, so once that’s been agreed in advance, we can then get on with building a strong business relationship – and hopefully with a few smiles along the way!.
Is it worthwhile having regular management accounts prepared?
It can be worthwhile preparing management accounts as you can then have regular planning sessions to see how the business is doing and whether you are reaching your objectives. It can otherwise prove costly further down the line if the wrong decisions have been made.
Should my business be using ‘Cloud’ accounting software?
A lot of businesses are now considering cloud accounting software as an option. We can advise and support you in making the right decision. We work with most online cloud accounting software providers so know what is available and the pros and cons of each.
I would like to change accountancy firms; when and how can I switch to you?
You can switch to us at any time during the financial year. All you need to do is appoint us as your new accountancy service provider. Then we’ll liaise with your current accountant to make the transition smooth and hassle-free. We’ll also carry out a detailed review of your accountancy and tax position, ensuring all your books and records are up to date.
