Benefits and advantages of hiring a personal accountant
People often look at accountants and think they are strictly for the complex business world. This is simply not true.
Many believe their personal finances are simple enough to handle on their own, thinking “What does a personal accountant do that I can’t do myself?”. However, hiring a personal accountant for your personal finances, can provide numerous benefits and advantages that are often overlooked.
Let’s explore what a personal accountant does and the benefits of hiring one…
Benefits of hiring an accountant
1. Save Time
In today’s busy world, balancing family, work, and personal life can be challenging. Managing your personal finances is time-consuming and stressful. Hiring a personal accountant will save you valuable time by handling your finances for you. And who doesn’t want to save time?
2. Avoid Penalties and Fines
Unless you have a consistent and steady salary that never changes it can be hard to ensure you’re paying the right amount of tax, not to mention making sure you’re paying it on time! Underpaying taxes comes with heavy fines and penalties. Experienced chartered accountants, like those at Drumm Nevatt & Associates, know tax laws inside out and will help you avoid any unwanted and unexpected fines.
3. Maximise Tax Refunds
Tax refund season is something many look forward to. However, the last thing you want is to owe money to the IRD. A personal accountant can help you get your tax refund and ensure you don’t owe money at the end of the year.
4. Track Your Spending Effectively
Money comes in and money goes out, making it hard to keep track of spending. A personal accountant provides a second pair of eyes to review your spending, offering perspective and helping you identify areas to save money and reduce costs.
5. Receive Expert Financial Advice
Great personal accountants, like those at Drumm Nevatt & Associates, are experts in finance. They offer excellent advice to help you improve your financial situation, making your money work harder for you.
6. Investment Consulting
Once your accountant has helped you improve your financial situation you may find yourself with a healthier bank balance. Your accountant can then advise on various investment opportunities for you to further enhance your financial health.
7. Peace Of Mind
Most importantly, all chartered accountants must follow a strict code of ethics and laws, ensuring they act in your best interest while remaining compliant with the law.
