Accountants & Bookkeepers working smarter

Why Accountants and Bookkeepers should build better partnerships.

The speed of technological innovation and the government’s digital taxation regime are among the many factors changing the relationship between the accountant and the bookkeeper.

This in-depth discussion will explore how accountants can develop and get the best value from a network of bookkeepers, and by doing so grow their firm by focussing on higher-value services.

Featuring an accountant and a bookkeeper on the panel, this webinar will examine the practicalities of setting up relationships, working together and delivering services. Throughout the webinar we’ll cover the below subjects.

• Shifting sands - Factors behind the changing relationship between the accountant and bookkeeper.
• It’s all about people - How can you establish relationships with bookkeepers and building a network you can rely on?
• A line in the sand - How should accountants and bookkeepers work together in this new cloud environment? This section will explore the opportunities and risks behind this changing relationship dynamic, and how to allocate roles and responsibilities in an accountant-bookkeeper partnership.
• Time to grow - Once relationships have been established, what services should you be looking to develop? And how does this affect things like your recruitment policy and technology choices?
• Q&A – We’ll finish the webinar with some top tips from our panellist and a question and answer session.
