A question we often get asked is, why someone should hire professional accountants to assist in their tax affairs. There are lots of value adding benefits that can be unlocked with the help of a professional accountant. It takes on average 3-4 years to become a qualified accountant undertaking 13 examinations, 3 years of work experience and ethics and a professional skills module. So, it makes sense to utilise these skills to your benefit.
