Every growing business needs an accountant once the volume of invoices, payroll and tax filings outgrows the founder or an occasional outside firm. A good accountant keeps your books accurate and on time, so you always know where the money is and face audits calmly.

A few questions, one at a time, then pick a time for a 30-minute strategy call with our team.

What to check when screening

  • Check they know the accounting framework you report under, such as SYSCOHADA or IFRS.
  • Ask which software they have used, for example Sage or QuickBooks, and test Excel.
  • Professional qualifications such as ACCA or a national chartered accountancy title add weight for senior roles.
  • Ask about month-end closing and bank reconciliations they handled.

Questions to ask in interview

  • Tell me about an error you found in the accounts. How did you handle it?
