The increasing role of small and medium enterprises in the country’s commercial landscape, coupled with more powerful and accessible information technology, have combined to alter the role and importance of accountancy firms like Nyman Linden.

After all, some small enterprises make do with a bookkeeper – someone to perform the tedious task of recording financial information and placing that data into the necessary formats, like P & L statements and tax forms.

Based on where you want to go with your business, your accountant should be able to tell you how to get there.  If your accountant is merely showing you the financial tracks of where you have been, you may have made a bad choice and are missing out on a great opportunity to receive good business advice.

But a good business accountant – such as a Partner at Nyman Linden - provides much more than just recording transactions and passively generating documents.

At the start of their professional careers, every Nyman Linden Partner completed a training contract with a Training Firm of Chartered Accountants.

• After 3 years’ professional education and having passed several examinations, each Partner was awarded a Practising Certificate and, having completed 10 years as a qualifying member, was elected to become a Fellow of the ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales)

• After many years’ experience and having built up a portfolio of clients, each was invited to become a Partner of Nyman Linden – an established chartered firm.

• To maintain their professional qualification, each Partner commits a set number of hours every year to attend Continuing Professional Development courses to keep up-to-date with constantly changing legislation and best business practice.

• Nyman Linden is regulated and licensed by the ICAEW, which continually monitors us to ensure we are maintaining high technical and ethical standards – an invaluable safeguard for all our clients.  We have to carry substantial, professional indemnity insurance to cover the consequential and legal costs of settling a claim against us – perhaps for incorrect advice.  The insurance premiums are very expensive and become even more so after a claim – successfully contested or not.  Here is an added reason for ensuring our Partners always give correct advice.

• As an additional safeguard for our clients, this firm has a formal procedure for resolution if ever a client made a complaint against us

Choosing the right accountant can mean the difference between success and failure. After all, it’s your financial numbers that make or break your business.

Unfortunately, once you have selected an accountant, it’s a pain to switch.  The incumbent accountant gains detailed knowledge of you, your business and your finances – it makes it very tough to transfer to a new accountant.  The end result is that many businesses working with mediocre accountants do not make the change to a better accountant simply because the perceived switching costs are too high.

Given the inertia that settles in after you have selected an accountant, it is important you make a good choice the first time around.  Although this seems obvious, most business owners do not thoroughly consider their needs when selecting an accountant.  This is often because many of them do not have a strong accounting background and, therefore, view all accountants as being equal.
