Why use a Chartered Accountant?
 |
Are you getting the right advice?
The Chartered Accountant designation is a promise of quality and commitment to improving your business.
Chartered Accountants — your long-term strategic partners
Today more than ever, you need someone you can rely on for sound
business advice and to minimise business risk. The right advice from an
impartial professional can be the difference between success and
failure. That's why a Chartered Accountant is the logical choice if you
want to negotiate a clear path through the labyrinth of the modern
business world. Your Chartered Accountant is a multi-skilled business
professional whose knowledge of best business practices can help you
succeed.
The services and expertise they can offer your business include:
- interpreting data
- preparing management tools such as forecasts and productivity improvements
- audits
- advising on financial planning
- developing new management strategies and the structures that support them
- risk management.
Chartered Accountants in public practice have the skills, knowledge and experience to improve your business practices — and the profits of your business — in areas you might never have considered. Imagine the benefits you could receive from a thorough and efficient review of gross margins, or how your debtor turnover affects your cash flow, or how much it is really costing you to support your stock levels. Your Chartered Accountant can be your business partner for the long haul, continuously adding value to your business.
Chartered Accountants are professionals
Chartered Accountants are members of the New Zealand Institute of
Chartered Accountants — New Zealand's own professional
accounting body. They possess the experience and qualifications to meet
the Institute's rigorous entry requirements, and they honour best
business practice throughout their career. They are also bound by the
Institute's Code of Ethics.
Employing a Chartered Accountant is your assurance that you are dealing with a highly qualified professional who is up-to-date on the latest business issues and is committed to ongoing professional education. Investing in the expertise of a Chartered Accountant will give your organisation added insight and direction for years to come.
It's time to invest in your competitive advantage.
