ON Community Webinar: How to Work With Accountants and Build Your Own Finance Team - powered by Onside Accounting
Many Operations folks in early-stage startups wear multiple hats, and one of those hats often happens to be Finance. With no dedicated Finance person in the team, we have to first quickly learn how to work with external accountants, then as the company grows and the need for a team becomes evident, we're faced with the question of how to build our own Finance teams.
It's no easy task and there's no one right way to do it. Join us for a webinar and Q&A session with our Community Partners at Onside Accounting. With the help of Martin Brennan, our long-time supporter and Founder of Onside, we'll discuss...
What should you prioritise when finance is just one of many things on your plate as an ops person?
Do you need an accountant or can you do it yourself?
What should you look for when picking an accountant, and how do you go about finding one?
How do you build a good working relationship with your accountant?
Added value: what else can your accountant help you with in addition to monthly bookkeeping and statutory accounts?
How do you pick the right finance stack for your startup and how does it change as the company grows?
How do you know when's the time to hire a dedicated finance person to the team vs doing it all yourself? To what point can your accountant be your extended finance team?
... And anything else finance-related on your mind. 💡
