Not sure who you need?
- Staff issue or disciplinary? Start with an HR consultant. If a claim is likely, speak to an employment lawyer.
- Tax, VAT or year-end accounts? You need an accountant. For day-to-day records, a bookkeeper.
- Need more customers? Look at social media marketing and web design.
How to choose a professional you can trust
- Check credentials. Lawyers should be licensed by a state bar (US) or regulated by the SRA or their national law society (UK/EU). Accountants are often CPAs (US) or members of ICAEW, ACCA or CIMA (UK).
- Read independent reviews and ask for references from similar businesses.
- Agree scope and price in writing before work starts.
- Compare at least two or three quotes.
