Why you need an accountant

Your business and personal circumstances change almost daily – unfortunately so do the rules and regulations relating to tax and business practice. So there is a need to keep abreast of legislation to avoid those nasty investigations and little fines from the Inland Revenue.

We know what you don’t

As a small business owner, you will be an expert within your industry, but do you have all the skills required to run a business?

If you were a CEO of a large corporation, you would have a highly skilled board of directors with every business discipline covered, from finance through production, health & safety, sales & marketing to customer service.

The small business owner has to address many of the issues a CEO of a large corporation has to, without the board of experts.

Access the experts

To fill this void Berkeley Bate has partnered with Executive Associates of the Institute for Independent Business, the only accountancy practice in the West of England to do so.

These Executive Associates, as mature business people, have typically been Executive Board Directors, and have personal experience of the pressures, stresses and joys of running a business. Having managed some of the best-known businesses in the world, many have also started, managed and eventually sold their own small to medium sized business.
