He has done an excellent job in not only promoting the work of this charity but also in keeping our finances in order . He also assisted in setting up of the Indian Dental Association (UK) . He got us registered as a charity with the charities commission and looks after the finances of the IDA - we could not have achieved this status with out his expert and professional guidance.

ENTREPENEURS
You are in business to succeed. Listed below are some things someone starting or running a business may consider. Where internal skills are lacking external help should be sought and it is not always expensive. Your accountant can be your friend & mentor.
GOOD SKILLS & PLANNING ARE A PRE-REQUISITE TO SUCCESS
Most businesses fail due to:​
Lack of business skills - without the appropriate skills you may not be 'PLANNING', 'MONITORING', 'CONTROLLING' or 'MARKETING' your business effectively.​
Businesses running out of cash - some basic skills like management accounts or cash-flows can help you avoid this​
Not enough research carried out about your proposed business before starting - unless it is a franchise or you are duplicating a known business type or model you should carry out adequate market research and draw up a business plan to ensure your proposed business is going to be viable and profitable. A bad product, a poor location, not enough or appropriate marketing, poor budgeting, etc can lead to failure.
Using a good firm of Accountants can increase your chances of success by a large extent.
