Hi there,
We run two Ltd companies and we usually have our end of the year accounts
done by our chartered accountants. We're not entirely happy with him mainly
because lack of communications between us and deadlines not met on his side.
We've recently employed a part time (temp) in house accountant who is also
proprietor of their own (one man band) accountancy. Their name is followed
by " MAAT".
I can see there is a website (aat.org.uk) with a self-employed members
directory but this persons name does not come up when I search for it.
Having said that the temp agency guarantees this persons qualifications.
The questions is, does this MAAT qualification really mean something (as far
as i can see you can pay to be a member) and what qualifications do you need
to handle end of the year accounts calculations? Or do you have to be a
chartered accountant?
This person seems very capable with the tasks they have been given so far
and we get on very well.
Many thanks for your advice or pointers.
