"Naresh Sethi has been the Treasurer of The Chitrakoot Project (UK) Charity for the last 20 years . 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. He is an excellent accountant and we are so pleased to have associated with him and his firm. "

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.
