Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an accountant and a business advisor in Wallington?
A compliance accountant looks backwards: accounts, tax returns, statutory filings. A business advisor looks forwards: where your business is heading, what the numbers mean, what to change. Most Surrey firms now offer both — the advisory layer is usually a fixed monthly fee on top of compliance.
Do I need monthly management accounts?
If you make decisions on instinct because the annual accounts arrive months too late, yes. Monthly management accounts give a profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow and key ratios within 10–15 days of month end — enough to spot margin pressure, slow debtors or rising overheads while you can still do something about them.
Can business advisory help me raise funding?
Yes — advisors typically prepare the financial model, three-year forecast, sensitivity analysis and supporting narrative lenders or investors want to see. They also know which Surrey-area banks, asset finance providers and grant schemes are open to applications from your sector.
When should I start exit planning for my business?
At least three years before you intend to sell. Buyers pay for clean, audit-ready accounts, recurring revenue, low key-person dependence and clear systems. The earlier you start, the more value you can build in — and the more options you have on deal structure and tax treatment.
Will an advisor share information with my staff or competitors?
No — accountants are bound by their professional body's code of ethics and the duty of confidentiality. You can also ask for a formal NDA. Engagement letters should set out exactly who within the firm has access to your information.
