The simple fact is we all dislike change. We don’t like being outside our comfort zone, preferring to have familiar people and patterns around us, whether that’s in business or at home. So it’s no great surprise that the vast majority of businesses resist change especially when it comes to reviewing and potentially changing accountant.

The events of the past few years and the significant economic changes that have taken place have led many business owners and directors to review all areas of their business performance, including of course, finances, cash flow and all elements of expenditure. What’s surprising though, is just how few businesses have received proactive, up front advice, support and guidance from their accountants at a time when it was needed most.

There’s a common perception that all accountants are the same. They all have a qualification and they all produce the same set of accounts at the end of the year. They are a necessary expense that every business must accept. Often lack of change leads to complacency and in the mistaken belief that you are currently getting the best available service from your accountant and you miss out on new, more exciting and more profitable opportunities.
