Why? Well, as the title suggests, that’s what we are here to discuss…
It Allows You To Focus On Your Business
First and foremost, having an SME accountant to help you operate the financial side of your creative business allows you to focus on the interesting stuff. We get it, some creative entrepreneurs find dealing with numbers a little dull. Luckily we accountants definitely don’t!
That’s what makes having someone that not only enjoys dealing with financial matters but has experience in creative industry accounting can prove an extremely fruitful partnership. Most creative individuals considering hiring an accountant are making that thrilling step from a hobby that provides a little income to becoming a full time SME. It is a moment in a small business’ development that is inevitably riddled with excitement and anxiety.
Our experience in SME accounting helps take away a large chunk of said anxiety. In turn, this allows you to concentrate your energy on doing what you do best. This helps bring out the best in your creative work, whether it be preparing your latest art exhibition or developing a new range of handmade wears for your ecommerce site. Which in turn hopefully leads to more money. Money that you will be able to enjoy, because all elements of worry are being handled by an experienced accountant for the creative industry. Simple(ish).
No Need To Worry About Unexpected Fees
It’s an underlying fear that is faced by every growing business. What if I have missed something? What if I used the wrong tax code? What if I am welcomed by the bailiffs knocking on my door tomorrow morning?
Well, the last one is a tad dramatic, but you get our point.
SME accounting is a technical process. That’s why people have to amass degrees, a copious number of tests and a whole host of experience just to qualify as an accountant. Therefore, you have every right to not be entirely sure about what is going on with your company finances. This is where seeking the help of someone with experience in creative industry accounting can help wash these worries away.
With an experienced professional handling how your finances are managed, there is no need for concern regarding unexpected fees. Making sure that your creative enterprise’s finances are in check is literally what creative industry accountants do best. So you can say goodbye to that niggling financial concern lingering in the back of your mind.
