5 Ways Business Owners Benefit from a Monthly Accounting Service

Title image - 5 ways owners benefit from monthly accounting

First of all… The problem with Annual Accounting

For a lot of business owners, filing their annual income tax returns at the end of the financial year is the only time they know how their businesses have performed for that financial year. That’s a bit like flying blind. Worse yet, those income tax returns can sometimes already be many months old.

This is how a lot of business owners can find themselves in a cashflow trap, especially if they are required to pay more tax than they have saved throughout the trading year or what they have paid in provisional tax throughout the year.

It is these business owners that often do not know if they have a profitability problem or enough cashflow to satisfy future tax obligations until it’s too late.

This is often the source of cashflow worries and sleepless nights.

That’s where the Kiwitax Monthly Accounting Service shines, by painting a light on the how a business’s cashflow and profitability is working in real time.

So, what is Monthly Accounting?

The Kiwitax Monthly Accounting service builds on the annual accounting service and boosts it with a bunch of extras to keep business owners in the know, updated monthly.

Starting with monthly reports detailing cashflow, profitability and tax obligations. Business owners will have business information tailored to suit their business by their accountant.

Monthly coding checks ensure reconciliation information is correct and monthly GST filings keep you on top of your tax.
