Are they going to talk in accounting and technical jargon that I won’t understand?

No. The CEO of the company has even written a book about business survival and everyone who reads it says “yes, I can really understand that”. All the staff you first meet speak “your language”.
We speak in the language of “business” and believe that using the accounts is a great tool for business planning and growth.

The ATO is chasing me to complete my BAS and get my accounts up to date. What do I do?

The first thing the Australian Taxation Office wants to know is that the accounts are going to be cleaned up and submitted as quickly as possible. We jump in and complete the bookkeeping and accounting immediately and find out what tax debt you may have.

The Fresh Numbers team has considerable experience in negotiating time with the ATO, which means we can compile your documents and have our accounting firm complete your accounts without putting any further pressure on you. Not only that, but we can keep the ATO up to date with the transparent progress of our work (if required) and report to them on the day that we have committed to.

Our accountants are used to prioritising this sort of bookkeeping and accounting work, and it can be completed in an affordable manner for you with payment terms, so that any large accounting job does not interfere with your cash flow.

My accounts are a mess, but I know I have a good business. Can you help me?

Statistics might say that most businesses fail, but at Fresh Numbers we have found that most businesses have a little magic that can produce good sales and profit, as long as the bookkeeping and accounting are kept up to date. This is the best way to manage tax debt.

The secret to finding out what part of the business produces the best profit is by completing accounts and understanding where that profit has come from.

Fresh Numbers will ensure that your accounts are completed using a great program to keep them up to date so you know were the business is financially at any time, as well keeping the business compliant. You will soon find that you now have a great business tool.

Do you understand my industry?

Fresh Numbers is part of an organisation that has been offering business services for 16 years. We have worked with all of the key industries, and if we haven’t we make a point of learning about it. Our organisation subscribes to the IBIS Industrial data, as well as keeping our fingers on the pulse of many industries. You will find that when you step into Fresh Numbers we will be speaking the same language – especially in dealing with your industry.

Do you understand family businesses?

Fresh Numbers understand the unique challenges faced by SME’s. Most of our clients would be classed as family businesses. We have seen it all; events such as marital breakdowns and sudden illness or death can greatly complicate matters for the unprepared. We understand how hardship can affect livelihood and wellbeing, and we will endeavour to support you through the tough times, whilst helping you to get back on track and moving forward.

What’s this thing called management accounts?

Management accounting, or managerial accounting, is concerned with the provisions and use of accounting information to managers and stakeholders within organizations, to provide them with the basis to make informed business decisions that will allow them to be better equipped in their management and control functions. Fresh Numbers knows that the best value for our clients is to design the chart of accounts so that the best information is available to make decisions regarding costing, buying, margins on product and services, and all those other business decisions that need to be made every day.

In our products like the 52 Week Program, you will have these management accounts at your fingertips and we will make sure that you know how they work and how to use them.
