Moving Business Network - Learn from Industry Veterans

Your accounting allies

Only accountants are great at accounting, so having a good accountant for your moving company is extremely important.  You can try to do it yourself, but a business lives and dies by sound recordkeeping.  Therefore, it is in your company’s best interest to rely on some trusted accounting allies.

Lawyer

As your moving company is beginning to set its foundation, a lawyer will be extremely helpful in guiding you on what you should do to grow and succeed as a company.  There are also legal and tax implications when you join the moving industry, so a good lawyer will help you with creating your next ally: an accountant.

Accountant

Obviously, you need an accountant to keep your records.  I’m not saying that you should give all of your company’s financial duties to the accountant, but they will be extremely helpful in making sure all of your records are precise.  Furthermore, an accountant is imperative when it comes to taxes.  Besides having the ability to understand your taxes way beyond the normal business owner, they will have a ton of helpful information.  And because they will know the ins and outs of your financial status, your accountant can be your ally for sound business advice as well.

Software

It is entirely possible to keep your financial records by hand or in an Excel spreadsheet, but that could get extremely difficult, tedious, complex, and, frankly, boring.  Finding the perfect type of accounting software for your moving company is crucial for your business.  Think about your own preferences and work style and find an accounting software that will agree with you.  If you are constantly at the desk, then you can get a desktop package.  Or if you are constantly on the road, like most moving businesses, then a cloud-based software that you can access anywhere at any time would be your best bet.  The type of accounting software that you choose for your business can make all of the difference.

Just like in any competition, choosing the right allies can make or break your success.  All you need to do is find a suitable lawyer, accountant, and software and your moving company will win the competition!
