Running a business without a good grasp on the financials is like driving a car at night without the lights on. Eventually, you will crash and when you do it’s going to be expensive.

Getting a good grasp of the financials is essential if you want to steer your business in the right direction. There are 4 steps to do this:

  1. Remove the fear of the numbers – many owners don’t want to look because they are either afraid to know the reality or don’t understand the numbers. We help every client to understand their numbers by being available at any time to talk through the numbers and by not using Jargon.
  2. Get the right bookkeeping package for your business – Xero is our preferred package because it puts the user first and focuses on efficiency. The old school desktop-based packages focus too much on what the accountants want and not enough on the customer. Xero is different. To see if Xero is right for your business we run FREE demonstration to help you decide.
  3. Keeping it up to date – bookkeeping is part of the work that you need to do or get done when running your business, the best most efficient businesses are up to date with their bookkeeping and credit control.
  4. Review the finances regularly – take time to review the finances regularly, meet with your accountant regularly and keep an eye on things, this way you can spot when things might be going wrong.
