FAQs

What qualifications should I look for in a freelance accountant on Contra?

Look for a freelance accountant with relevant certifications like CPA or ACCA. Check their experience in industries similar to yours. They should have a track record of working with businesses of your size.

How can I ensure the accountant understands my business needs?

Share clear details about what your business does and your accounting needs. Ask the accountant to explain how they can help. Their response will show if they truly understand your business.

What should be included in the project deliverables when hiring an accountant?
