Benefits of a Mobile Accountant

Is it time to shift to a mobile Cairns tax accountant?

 

A mobile accountant is a qualified tax accountant who truly understands the importance of your time, particularly in business. While still considered ‘normal’ practice for business owners to visit their accountants periodically, it’s no longer a necessity in real world terms.

Once upon a time, everything was paper-based and obviously required an appointment with your tax agent. With the combination of cloud based documentation and reporting, coupled with the changing of the traditional bricks and mortar business structures to virtual based entities, it’s no wonder that accounting firms such as Adcock Accounting are shifting into the mobile and virtual realm.

An important note to remember is that there are still ‘some’ requirements by the ATO for physical, paper based signatures. Your accountant will have an indpeth knowledge of all reporting requirements.

Benefits of a Mobile Cairns Tax Accountant

Let’s backtrack to my intro line and discuss ‘time’. Many small business owners are generally time crunched, meaning appointments outside the ‘bread and butter’ scope of our work can be frustrating and unproductive. With that in mind, wouldn’t it be wiser to to meet with your accountant at your workplace, home or anywhere that is convenient for you?

The advantage of being a local tax agent in Cairns is that Anthony Adcock can easily travel the small distance to meet with his clients at their preferred location. Furthermore, Anthony is also an advocate for virtual accounting, whereby video or phone meetings are also supported.

The benefits of using a virtual or mobile tax accountant are:

  • The convenience of meeting your local Cairns tax specialist at your preferred location. Whether your workplace is in Gordonvale, Cairns or Port Douglas, your tax accountant will be there.
  • Less downtime, enabling you to continue to be productive with your time.
  • If you forget to bring supporting hard copy documents, it’s not an issue if you are meeting right there in your office.
  • your Cairns tax accountant can develop a clearer understanding of your business operations by visiting your workplace.
  • your accounting fees will remain competitive due to the smaller overheads of your accountant.
