Why is Private Accounting Better?

Private chartered accountants offer personalised services that are tailored to individual client needs, providing a more customised approach to financial management than public accounting. They also strive to prioritise the unique goals and objectives of their clients, offering advice and strategies that meet specific needs.

Public accounting involves providing services to numerous clients, often through a firm, and includes tasks such as auditing, tax preparation and consulting.
