Starling has launched its own do-it-yourself accounting software, which, to many, would seem like a good thing, but to professional certified accountants, it will cause huge problems.
Why? It sends a bad message that anyone can do accounting, and that it can be easily achieved by just using an app. But if it really was that easy, there wouldn’t be any professional accountants.
Accounting is built on technical knowledge, judgement, and accountability. Building strategies to save businesses money and ensuring all tax returns are submitted correctly, and much more.
This app builds false confidence, leading business owners to believe they don’t need a certified accountant and can just do it all themselves. But any wrong step can result in costly mistakes.
Accountants go through years of training, exams, regulations, and professional risk to give clients the best service possible.
