Your auditor knows your business, take advantage of it!

The certification of your company's financial statements is important to its shareholders, bankers and all other stakeholders, who need to be sure that they represent the true financial position of your company.

But certifying your financial statements is also an opportunity for you to talk to your accountant about the issues that concern you and the projects that motivate you.

No one outside your company knows it better than your auditor, and that knowledge is at its peak during the annual audit. Your CPA auditor goes through the main revenue and expense items. And since he has been doing this for many years with you and with various clients, he has acquired 2 qualities that make him an excellent advisor: judgement and experience.

Challenge him.

Try the following approach at your next meeting with your auditing CPA:

  • Inform him of your plans for the next few years, even the less structured ones;

  • Plan a presentation meeting that will last 1 hour longer than the previous year's meeting;

  • Tell him as much as possible about your company

  • Ask for his opinion considering your situation, your needs and potential solutions.

  • .

It's simple, it'll only cost you a few dollars more and you'll benefit fully from the knowledge acquired during your audit.
