Finding the Right Accountant in Lebanon: What to Check First
A good accountant does more than the obvious job — they save you from costly mistakes and are reachable when you actually need them. Here is how to pick one in Lebanon.
Know when you need an accountant
Match the accountant to your size — a freelancer needs simple VAT and income filings, while a company needs payroll, NSSF and annual statements handled on the Ministry of Finance calendar.
Shortlist by reputation, then compare
Start with two or three accountants who have solid reviews and are active near you, then compare responsiveness and clarity — not just price.
Ask the right questions
Ask about experience with cases like yours, what the total cost includes, and how long it will take. Clear, patient answers are a good sign; vague ones are not.
Confirm cost before work begins
Whatever the pricing model, agree it in writing first and check what is not included, so there are no surprises later.
