Please select ONE or MORE of the alternative answers for each question and click the checkbox of your choice. You can also comment freely on the subject in the space given below each question. If none of the alternatives correspond with your views, please give your opinion in the "Additional Comments" box.

How well would you say your current accounting service understands and addresses your business' needs and requirements when it comes to the following matters:

  • Suggesting ways of utilising those tax saving opportunities that arise from tax law changes that affect your business.

    My accountant always makes proactive recommendations on ways to save tax when a tax opportunity arises.
    They never do so on their own initiative, I have to ask them.

    ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

  • Frequency of enquiring about changes in your personal or business circumstances that may favourably affect your tax position and following up with recommendations on how you can save taxes as a result of such changes.

    at least once a year e.g. as part of their standard procedures e.g. as part of tax year end planning or accounts preparation.
    never on their own initiative, I have to tell them.

    ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

  • Speed of returning your calls

    within half working day.
    within one working day.
    I am still waiting     for that call!

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

Do you think the amount of taxes you pay is excessive or just right?

I am making maximum savings.
I feel that I am overpaying the taxman.
I have no idea.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

Do you recall ever been fined by the taxman as a result of having exceeded a deadline regarding filing of accounts, tax infomration etc?

yes
no

If the answer to the above is yes, would you please take a few moments to describe what the reason was for the fine?

Is there any time you did not receive the help and solutions you were looking for from your accountant and which you felt that you were paying the accountant to provide?

yes
no - I am happy with the competency and reliability of advice when needed it.

If the answer to the above is yes, would you please take a few moments to describe what happened?

Do you think your accountant communicates information in relation to your tax and other business matters (either verbally or in writing) in a clear and understandable manner?

Yes- they always speak/ write to me in clear, understandable language away from technical jargon.
No- most of the time it feels confusing and you need to have a degree in Accounting to understand the information you pay for!

If the answer to the above is no, do you think that this communication problem might affect the success of the business in any way?

Yes, as I need a second valuable opinion coming from an expert (my accountant).
Yes, because it is very difficult for a business owner with little or no technical accounting background to use that information for easier and faster decision-making without understanding it.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

How important do you regard feeling comfortable with your accountant? Do you regard feeling comfortable being an essential parameter of the business relationship with him?

extremely important for the smooth running of the business and an essential parameter of succeeding in business.
it's purely a business matter, comfort doesn't really enter it.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

What features or attributes of an accounting service are the most valuable to you?

Compliance work (i.e. to comply with filing requirements regarding taxes, companies House etc).
Making tax savings for the client.
Assistance with growing my business and profits.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

How important or critical to the success of your business would the following additional accounting services be:

  • The accountant keeping an eye on a systematic basis (e.g. monthly or quarterly) on how your business finances develop and offering assistance/ recommendations on how to deal with any problems or opportunities discovered.

    it would enable me to make better, faster and easier business decisions.
    a second opinion, coming from a professional well placed to offer it because of his training and experience is always welcome.
    would not really offer any signinficant benefits.

    ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

How reasonable do you feel the cost of your accounting service is, when comparing with the overall exchange that you receive for your money (in terms of making you tax savings or increased earnings)?

I receive even beyond what I pay for the service in terms of tax savings,assistance to increase profits, peace of mind and no time waste.
I receive less value for what I pay; I feel that can get better value for my money in terms of tax savings, assistance to increase profits, peace of mind and no time waste.
I think I receive what I pay for as I only use my accountants because it is mandatory to comply with the legislation; I am not looking for any other benefits from my accounting service.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

How long have you been using your current accounting service?

less than 1 year
1 - 3 years
over 3 years

Would you be willing to change accountants if you were personally fully convinced that it would save you a considerable amount of money and make the running of your business easier?

Would you recommend your current accounting service to a friend or business contact?

yes - without any reservation.
no - I wouldn't.

If your answer is no, why not?
