Many business owners are the captain of the ship for most, if not all, aspects of your business. You will handle a variety of responsibilities, such as branding decisions, handling client/customers, stocktake and everything in between. So, you may be wondering if you should also handle your finances and taxes yourself. Although this has increasingly become a possibility for many business owners, there are some important benefits associated with using a business accountant that should be considered.

If managing your own business finances, including tax, is an increasingly accessible option, why are so many local businesses still using accountants?
