How to choose your accounts officer

[Augusta]

When you start a small business, you will need to have a good account officer to avoid fraud. You can consider the following tips when choosing one

Ask for recommendations:

You can ask others already in business for a good recommendation. Sometimes getting a known person is a lot better

Enquire about their skills

You need to know about your intended account officer accounting skills. Don’t go for a novice because of the cost

Check out their social media profile

A good account officer should have a profile online, so that an intended client can check out their portfolio. So use one with a social media presence and try to read the reviews left on the page by other clients

In our business culture an account officer is one who handles the big accounts of bank customers and in other business the major clients. If you mean the accountant who will handle the accounting books then the usual person that is hired is one who has a background in accountancy work like bookkeeping which is the summarizing of the transactions into the balance sheet. The CPA or certified public accountant is a licensed auditor that you can hire to check on the accuracy of your accounting books.
