19 BEST local Accountants in Patterson Lakes VIC | Yellow Pages®

What should you look for in an accountant?

To ensure you get the reliable and quality financial services you need, take a look at our tips for what to bear in mind:

• Services. Do you require regular bookkeeping or payroll accounting, or perhaps you just need a one-off tax return filing? Remember, not all accounting firms offer all services.
• Experience. From specialised contractor accountants to small business tax accountants and even those working for larger firms, choose a provider with experience handling the needs of similar businesses to yours. This could be in the form of case studies or testimonials.
• Credentials. Only choose qualified accountants who are registered and certified to offer their services, whether it is tax accounting or providing investment advice.
• Professional membership. Being a member of a professional body such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia can provide reassurance.
• Fees. Be sure to shop around and compare quotes for local accountants. Fee structures differ depending on hiring for a one-off task or a regular service, but a reputable practice will be transparent about the costs.

Armed with these tips, rest assured you’ll find an accountant that doesn’t let you down. View our listings for local accountants today.
