Our Approach We didn’t start this business to be like everyone else. We think people deserve better than slow, expensive and unresponsive accountants. We understand taxes are a pain, compliance is a burden and you wouldn’t want to take business advice from someone who hasn’t changed their own business in the last 20 years. That’s why we are on a mission to shake things up. To get real, practical advice to business owners who want to change their business. Who want business advice from a business person.

Creating a product, conducting a service, up-selling to customers, acquiring new business, managing stock – these are all tasks that business owners can manage. Accounting and finance – that’s a whole other ball game. For most SME owners, the accounting side of the business is what really gets them down, and it’s easy to understand why.
Navigating tax obligations, filing tax returns, issuing payroll, preparing financial statements, managing invoices, controlling cash flow – accounting tasks can be a mind-boggling affair, especially for those who do not have prior accounting or financial experience. Tag on all of your day-to-day business responsibilities on top of this and it can all get too much for any SME owner.
That’s where Watson & Watt come in. We work alongside SME owners to grow their business, by managing and advising on all accounting and financial matters. In an instant, you get immediate access to a full team of qualified and experienced accountants and bookkeepers, with a dedicated professional assigned to managing and advising your business on all corporate accounting matters.
Why work with a corporate accountant?
Like many small business owners, you may currently or be tempted to handle all accounting matters yourself or stretch to employing a junior accounting professional part-time to do so. These are the paths that many small businesses take, but unfortunately, few find success when they do.
The implications of errors or missed deadlines when it comes to managing accounting tasks like payroll, supplier payments, customer invoicing, budgeting, cash flow management, financial statement preparation, tax return filing and BAS payments, can have a significant impact on a small business.
Unless accounting requirements are handled by a qualified expert, such errors and issues are a frequent reality. Penalties, damaged relationships, unhappy employees, debt and business closure are some of the unfortunate severe consequences.
With all the time and work that goes into setting up and establishing a small business, it’s best to leave the financial matters to a qualified corporate accountant.
Anyone who has the determination and commitment to start their own business deserves to be able to make that business a success. By partnering with a corporate accounting specialist like Watson & Watt, business owners can skip onto path to success, knowing that they have a strong financial foundation in pace and that all accounting tasks are being smoothly managed.
How to choose your corporate accounting partner
If you’re a small business owner looking to partner up with a corporate accounting firm, there are a number of key considerations that you should factor into your selection.
An effective financial advisor and accounting partner can have a monumental impact on the success of your business so it’s important that you carefully consider your options and make the right choice.
Some important things to consider are:
Are they a registered tax agent?
Will your accounting partner be legally able to prepare and file tax returns and tax statements on your half? Taxation is one of the most complex areas of small business accounting so you’ll need your chosen partner to be able to take care of this.
Do they have proven experience?
Some accounting firms will specialise in certain areas of small business accounting and some may not have extensive experience in an area of business finance and accounting where you need the most help.
Your chosen partner should be able to demonstrate proven experience and success stories in helping small businesses just like yours with various areas of accounting and taxation.
What do their customers say?
If you want to really get a feel for whether an accounting specialist is the right fit for your business and your needs, see what their customers have to say.
You’ll work very closely and rely heavily on whatever accounting partner you choose so you need to know that they are reliable, trustworthy, professional and helpful, and can truly deliver on everything they promise.
