Many small business owners think they’re saving money by handling their financials themselves. While it’s a real asset to learn bookkeeping basics, cash flow management and your tax obligations, hiring an accountant to oversee your finances has many benefits. Leaving your bookkeeping to a licensed professional will free up time so you can focus on serving your clients and implementing plans for growth. Here are a few ways a licensed accountant can help you save money that you can reinvest back in your business.
Finding money
Hire an accountant and engage with some tax planning to help reduce your tax payable and ensure that your business is set up for success by putting money aside and creating tax strategies to reduce your liability. Accountants can spot trends that you can take advantage of to earn greater profits – and even find savings with vendors, staff and operating expenses. Hiring someone to manage your accounts will also reduce the costly errors that are commonplace when business owners try to manually track their expenses.
Carbon Accounting & Tax specialises in exactly these and even more, as we love working with businesses and understanding what makes them tick so we can provide even better, tailored services.
Avoiding tax penalties
Working with your accountant who can be your trusted advisor when it comes to staying up to date with the latest regulations from the ATO. Your accountant can also provide you with expert advice on how to maximize your benefits and minimize your taxes each year. Don’t underestimate the cost savings of hiring someone to complete your tax forms correctly and submit them on time. Penalties for small businesses who neglect to file their taxes on time – or at all – can quickly add up; the longer you wait to file, the more interest you’ll be charged and the likelihood you’ll incur additional penalties. A business that is already struggling may not be able to pay a tax fine and find themselves closing their doors. If your small business is ever audited, having an accountant on board will let you rest easy knowing you won’t be hit with a penalty for errors or omissions.
