In order to find the best accounting firm in Edmonton, or for that matter anywhere in Canada, you need to take into consideration several factors. a) One of the most important factors is qualifications. Ensure that the firm you choose has qualified individuals who can provide you with the services you need. b) Experience in providing accounting services for businesses in your industry is also important since the accounting firm will be familiar with important financial regulations and reporting requirements. Plus, the accounting firm will have a good understanding of the unique challenges your business faces and how to help you deal with them. c) Location is also important but it’s not necessary that you find an accounting firm in your neighbourhood since, with today’s online cloud-based accounting solutions, it is relatively easy to communicate and share information/records. However, if your business is located in Alberta, it is better to hire an Alberta accounting firm since it will be familiar with the provincial business regulations and laws that you need to comply with. d) For many small businesses, the fee structure is also a factor they need to consider. We are not recommending hiring the most affordable accounting firm since hiring a more experienced and costly firm could end up costing you less in the long run. That’s why at ATS Accounting, we offer our clients fixed pricing in order to make it easier for them to keep track of their expenses and avoid surprise bills. e) Today it’s also easy to investigate the track record of an accounting firm you may be considering. Almost all accounting firms have an online presence so it’s not a problem finding online reviews that will help you evaluate the experiences of other businesses with a particular firm. For example, ATS Accounting has over 230 Google reviews of satisfied clients who share their experience and satisfaction with the services we provide them!
