Cash is the life blood of any small business, if you can’t manage it, understand how it works then you will struggle to retain as much of it as possible. Money comes in the business and goes out, some of it has to be put aside to calculate transactional tax (PAYG and GST) which always seems to create confusion, then of course the taxman wants a big chunk of income tax.
While accounts complete profit and loss and balance sheet, the real issue is how do you manage cash, and the plan to manage cash helps you retain as much of it as possible. Well – that’s why you went into business.
Our Cruncher as part of our accounting process shows you what is happening with cash in your business, where it is going and what it is being used on. This simple but elegant report has helped to transform many business owners from struggling to understanding what is happening in the business.
The obvious question – if I made money where did it go?
This is the most common question we get asked in business and now that we have implemented the use of the cruncher with the accounts (profit and loss and balance sheet) our business clients have ways that they can measure their business.
The beauty of this is that we work with business owners to understand it their way.
Some clients want to see the big picture and make changes, or they want to specific costs relating to specific jobs, and we help design a way for them to use source information to make sure every job makes money so that overall the business is successful.
Before you get bogged down with aps or lost in an accounting package, work with us to give you the meaningful way for you to see what is happening to cash and make those adjustments that give you better profit without affecting your service or product.
This is our Accounting and Compliance service.

How we work together
Everything completed from a bank feed, so we get information and get on with doing the accounts.
We get a bank feed from the account you will be using for the business. This is an account that will have a card attached to it, so that we don’t have to worry about those pesky receipts and we will see all expenses that we can claim.
You will tell us about your home office, phone use and the car expenses percentages. Also discuss with your usual businesses expenses and if there are unusual but valid costs to your business.
You keep the receipts, we ask that you file them monthly, in case we get one of pesky audits.
When you receive the cash flow or financials, we ask that you review these. There are a lot of questions initially from clients, and we help settle and understand what else could be deductable – as well as answer questions about the business.
This is our Tax management and compliance shield service
Always know what the tax debt is when you receive an update on the accounts and BAS.
We give you an ongoing plan to manage tax where you pay tax weekly or every time you bank money -little and often.
This way you are never behind, and when it comes to BAS or income returns, the money is there.
No more grief with the taxman.
Every month, our accountants give you a plan to pay tax, by giving you a percentage of banking to BPay to the Australian Taxation Office.
We complete the calculations every month and get back to you with changes. This way there is never any problems with the taxman.
Once we know what your income and tax is, we can use our “Tax Pick a box” that will allow you to select a structure and maybe reduce the amount of money you are sending to Canberra and start to begin real financial planning.
Our clients haven’t trained in bookkeeping or accounting.
Just the guide to the Australian Tax act (The index really) is over 3,000 pages. Not everyone is geared to understand double entry, so that you may look for a company likes us, that offers accounting in a language that makes sense to you.
Be it that the accounts are broken down on a cash basis to understand the true costs, or setting personal budgets, then we will have a language that you will understand.
“Tradie speak – spoken”
We have a “catching up” program that’s gets your accounts up to date – get everything completed and the worry of being chased by the taxman.
Why sweat about the next letter or phone call from the taxman? Get the accounts up to date and have the issues dealt with under our TAX SHEILD where we negotiate the tax debt.
You may also ask us to communicate with the Australian Taxation Office, especially if there is time pressures already – usually to notify them of time required to complete our work.
We negotiate with the Australian Taxation Office and offer advice about the next step if there is
a sizable tax debt.
We help you brief a broker who is specialized in finance if that is an option for you.
