Does your industry matter when choosing an accountant?

My first accountant was... Shocking. I moved to SJD and never been happier with the service from my appointed accountant. I was a noob and needed / still appreciate the support pillar which I feel that I truly have there. I went from stress over tax, vat and business profitability to knowing exactly where I am all the time. It was the most sensible move I made.

Yes it depends. It is necessary to determine the industry experience of someone going to be an accountant prior to hire so that he can easily work out on your specific business needs.

Not at all. If an accountant is contractor savvy it makes not difference whether the contractor is in IT, O&G, Pharma, etc etc. The knowledge and expertise required is the same. Its a big SEO con-trick.
