In 2025, when choosing financial and tax accounting services, enterprises can consider the following aspects:
1. Qualifications and Compliance
Enterprises should ensure that financial and tax accounting agencies have the “Agency Bookkeeping License” issued by the Finance Bureau, and accounting personnel need to hold relevant professional qualification certificates.
Avoid choosing institutions that operate without licenses or make false promises, and prioritize top accounting agencies that operate in compliance.
2. Professional competence and service quality
Professionalism of the team: Accounting agencies are required to arrange personnel who graduated from full-time finance and economics colleges with accounting related majors to serve, preferably with the title of junior accountant.
Service content: In addition to basic bookkeeping and tax reporting services, we can also assess whether it provides value-added services such as tax planning, financial system establishment, and report analysis.
Service stability: Choose an accounting agency with dedicated personnel to avoid service interruptions caused by personnel turnover.
3. Digitization and informatization level
In the context of the fourth phase of the Golden Tax, enterprises should prioritize choosing accounting agencies with digital service capabilities, such as using SaaS platforms, intelligent financial and tax systems, to improve financial and tax processing efficiency.
Accounting agencies should be able to provide integrated invoice, accounting, and tax services, with functions such as full invoice process management and tax compliance monitoring.
4. Cost and cost-effectiveness
The cost of outsourcing accounting services is usually lower than the cost of hiring a full-time accountant, and companies can choose suitable packages based on their own scale and business needs.
Pay attention to whether the fee structure is transparent and avoid additional fees or implicit charges.
5. Word of mouth and market evaluation
You can refer to industry brand lists, such as well-known companies like Huacai Accounting, Big Accounting, Cloud Accounting, etc.
Understand the market reputation and service quality of accounting agencies through online evaluations, customer feedback, and other methods.
6. Data Security and Confidentiality
Ensure that accounting agencies can safeguard the security of corporate financial data and sign confidentiality agreements.
Choose an accounting agency with technical means such as data backup and encryption.
7. Value added services and potential for long-term cooperation
Consider whether accounting agencies can provide value-added services such as corporate restructuring, merger and acquisition assistance, and financial optimization advice.
Choose institutions with long-term cooperation potential to avoid the costs and risks associated with frequent changes in accounting firms.
Through comprehensive consideration of the above aspects, enterprises can better choose suitable financial and tax accounting services, thereby improving financial management efficiency, reducing operating costs, and ensuring financial and tax compliance.
