With so many accountants and accountancy firms out there to choose from, how can you tell whether or not a particular accountant is right for your business? Finding the right accountant is about more than choosing someone you can work with on a personal level, you need to be able to trust that your accountant is proactive and reliable, and therefore, going to be an asset for your business.

Here are four important criteria that will tell you if you’ve found the right accountant for your business.

The aftermath of the EU Referendum result has already caused massive political and economical change in the U.K. While there’s no way of knowing yet exactly how Brexit will impact us in the future, we must prepare for it as much as possible if our businesses are to run smoothly in the coming months and years.

According to London-based chartered accountancy firm 3 Wise Bears, your accountant should be able to give you advice on how you can stabilise your cash flow now, how removing the free movement of people could affect your business and/or industry, and how Brexit could affect your profitability in both the short and the long term.
