Up-to-date accounting and sound financial management
Keep the heart of your business healthy
How are your finances doing? Find out by answering these questions: - Do you know how much profit your business made over the last six months?
- Do you know what your turnover was last month?
- Do you know how much to budget for extra stock over the holidays?
- Do you know what your overdraft is costing you?
- Have you made allowances for tax payments?
- Can your business afford to expand?
- Do you really know what's going on in your business?
Don't wonder what is happening in your business - KNOW!
For most people, keeping the accounting side of a business up-to-date is a dry, dusty, time-consuming chore. On the face of it, “doing the books” doesn't seem like an exciting activity which is bringing money into the business and so it is regarded as a grudge expense, something that has to be done to keep the Receiver of Revenue satisfied.
Did you know that a proper accounting system can actually contribute to the profitability of your business?
While accounting itself doesn't bring in new money, it plays a valuable role in getting the most out of the money that you do have. In fact, poor accounting can end up costing you money.
Not knowing exactly what is going on with the financial health of your business may not only lead to money wasters such as fines levied for overdue payments but it can also lead you to making ill-informed decisions about the operations in your business. Do you really know whether your company can afford to tender for that project or whether you have sufficient funds and financing to take on the new opportunity that has come your way?
Without a well-managed set of financial statements, the decision you take intending to grow your company may well lead to its destruction!
When should you use an accountant?
If you are already running a business you will probably find that you fall into one of the following two categories:
1. You are very good with administrative work and do your filing and record-keeping yourself on a regular basis. If you fall into this category you probably only need to see an accountant once or twice a year for taxes and advanced financial statements.
2. You are awful with admin and would much rather do something else – often anything else – than get your papers in order. Lots of people fall into this category!
For people like this, an accounting firm that deals with your accounts on a monthly basis is very important. The accountant takes care of the records and when decisions need to be made you can make informed choices relying on the facts about the true current state of your business.
If you are about to start a new business you will probably need advice on all or some of the following: - Where can I get financing?
- How much capital will I need?
- Is the business I want to start viable?
- Where must I register my business?
- What levies, etc do I need to pay?
- How do I handle the admin in my business?
- What kind of filing system should I use?
