3. WHY DO I NEED AN ACCOUNTANT WHEN I CAN DO MY ACCOUNTS MYSELF?
Most businesses’ definition of doing accounts is data-entry. Doing data-entry does not equate to accounting. Anybody with basic computer skills can perform such a task to a reasonably good standard. Accounting on the other hand is a profession regulated by international bodies and has its own set of different standards that are applicable to different jurisdictions.
