3 Tips for Getting Your Finances in Order Before Tax Time
If financial paperwork isn’t your most favourite thing to keep in order, we have some tips to stay on top of your finances.
- Always keep your financial information in your accounting software up-to-date on a very regular basis (e.g. weekly). Use a software program platform like Xero so your accountant or bookkeeper can see it in real time.
- Do a Cashflow Forecast Budget for the next 12 months and regularly review this against actuals. CTBS can assist with developing and reviewing this system for you.
- Review plant requirements for the business over the next 6 months and even long-term. Look at what is important that needs updating or replacing.
Plan Ahead for Tax Time
- Time management is one of the biggest challenges business owners face, not allowing them to focus on important things such as keeping their finances in order. A lot of tradies for example, are great at their tradie work but lack bookwork smarts. They need help and that’s where a combination of a great admin, bookkeeper or accountant can assist.
- Using a program like Xero is highly recommended to get on top of things. You can save everything in the cloud and good backup is provided.
- CTBS generally contact our clients from March until June to follow up on their tax planning needs. We have a state-of-the-art tax planning tool that provides great predictions on what our clients will pay in tax for the year and over 40 suggestions on possible ways that they can reduce their taxable income. It helps highlight important issues of what they need to be aware of.
