Bookkeeping for Small Business Sydney Northern Beaches

Are you a small business in Sydney just starting out and looking for a basic bookkeeping course or some assistance to get you started?

It is always a good idea to start properly from the beginning so you know what you should be doing, how your business is going and to make sure you don’t end up with a huge tax or GST bill because you weren’t quite sure of the best bookkeeping procedures.

What software should you be using for your accounting? We recommend Xero accounting software because it is cloud based accounting and it easy to use once you get started and you can use it on your smart phone or tablet if you wish to.

Do you need some sort of software to manage your jobs? Some of our small businesses, especially our tradies use Tradify, ServiceM8 and Harvest. You may want to check them out to see if one of them is better suited to your needs. There are also a number of other Xero add ons which may be suitable for your small business.

What is your chart of accounts?

Does it really matter where you code transactions to?

What paperwork do you need to keep and for how long?

What is the easiest and most efficient way to pay your creditors?

What is a Profit and Loss statement and why is it important?

What is a Balance Sheet? What does it tell you about your business?

What is GST? How does it all work? What is a business activity statement? Who needs to register for GST and when?

Are you considering taking on your first employee? What paperwork do you need? What do you need to do? How does superannuation work?

Are you going to be paying subcontractors? Do you need to pay them superannuation? What about the Taxable Payments Report where you need to advise the ATO on the amounts you have paid them throughout the year?

How much should you be putting away for your GST, PAYG (tax taken out of employees pays) and your tax so you have the funds to pay your liabilities?

Unfortunately, we have seen a few small businesses get caught in their first year of trading because they just didn’t understand the whole GST and income tax system. Don’t let this happen to you.

We can help you with all of the above.

What do you do with all of those receipts and bills piling up?

The best piece of advice we offer all our small business clients is to work with Receipt Bank to take care of their mounting pile of paperwork. We will set you up on Receipt Bank which is a fantastic add on.

It is a really simple process, all you need is a smart phone and you download the app. This allows you to take a photo of a receipt supplies you have just purchased. You don’t need to write in what it is for as we can see what it is for as we will see the receipt. You don’t need to say which bank account you have used to pay for it either, you just hit save. From there, we do all of the processing from coding in Receipt Bank, pushing it across to Xero where it then becomes a bill with the receipt attached for you or your accountant to see at any time down the track.

This is great in the unlikely event of a tax audit as all of your paperwork is attached, still easy to read, not in a shoebox or filed somewhere else.
