Recently, we’ve had 3 new clients come to us that all share a common problem.
They have been fined and penalised by the ATO for late lodgement of BAS returns, due to their previous accountant not completing and lodging their BAS on time. (Crazy we know!)
Learning of our client’s frustrations with their previous accountants, we feel obliged to answer the question; ‘What makes a great accountant?’
We believe that it all comes down to the basics of providing a quality service, whether you’re an accountant, a removalist or a hairdresser, we believe you are obliged as a business owner to deliver what you promise.
In this case, if you offer BAS lodgements, they should certainly be lodged accurately and on time. If it’s anyone’s job to remember the BAS lodgement due date, it should be an accountant right!?
