Personality is absolutely key when choosing someone to work with. It’s of paramount importance that you get on with whoever you appoint. You have to ensure that you’re able to fully trust them and are comfortable that all your business requirements will be met. You should ask about professional qualifications and years of experience establishing whether they have worked with clients similar to you in the past.
Ensure that the price for work is agreed up front and a contract is entered into. Your accountant may well ask some detailed questions in order to help prepare a quote, but this is only to avoid surprises further down the line.
Most accountants now work solely online with many not meeting their clients at all. This doesn’t work for everyone. If you’d like to meet your accountant in-person on occasions, then ensure this is established at the outset.
