Big Business Move? Ask Your Accountant First

Thinking about buying new gear, hiring extra staff, or expanding your business? Hold up! Before you make any big move, check in with your accountant. They’re not just number crunchers—they’re your business safety net, helping you make smart choices without the guesswork.

Here’s what to ask:

  1. Do I have enough cash flow?
    Money in vs. money out is the lifeblood of your business. Your accountant can help you see if your plan will leave you short or if it’s safely doable.
  2. What are the tax implications?
    Every decision has tax consequences. Buying equipment, hiring staff, or expanding? Your accountant can show you how to structure things to save money and avoid nasty surprises.
  3. Is this sustainable long-term?
    Short-term wins are exciting, but you want decisions that keep your business thriving for years. Your accountant can forecast profits, risks, and cash flow to make sure you’re not overreaching.
  4. What are my financing options?
    Need a loan or lease? Your accountant can crunch the numbers to see what’s realistic and what won’t hurt your business.
  5. What if it doesn’t go as planned?
    Every big decision carries risk. Your accountant can help you plan for “what ifs” and put safety nets in place so you can sleep easy.

Why it matters:
Big decisions can make or break your business. Talking to your accountant first turns uncertainty into confidence. You’ll know the numbers, understand the risks, and make choices that keep your business strong.
