Just how proactive is your accountant?
Do you meet just once a year to do your tax returns and that's it?
We are seeing many small businesses who pay either a bookkeeper, a BAS agent or tax accountant to do their books.
In extreme cases the business is using a combination of all three; they do not even know each other and all work remotely at considerable expense to the client.
Incredibly the small business owner still has no real idea about the performance or real financial position of the business.
How can this be you ask?
Simply put there is no one on watch - busy yes, accountable no. Adding value to clients business - hardly.
In very many cases the process of accounting for a small business is extremely inefficient, expensive and of very low value to the business. In the background there is a very substantial real cost to the owner of the business who is sponsoring the business through long hours and having their equity position eroded.
In many cases this situation arises from a lack of knowledge - you don't know what you don't know.
The smart thing to do would be to ask someone that does to address this most urgent of situations. 

What price would put on great business advice and accounting advice for you small business?
The answer to that is it must always be relative to the value you receive as a result of the advice provided.
You should be able to equate the value any product or service you use to a financial benefit to your business.

Like any other investment decision you should expect a multiple return on evey dollar spent

If you are advertising and there are no new customers or sales as a result stop the exercise and find a better way.

Often when we review clients business financial we find the amount spent annually on accounting and business advice is moreless non existent. That is there just enough to address the compliance and record keeping requirements and nothing more.
At the same time we find the business owner are paid poorly for their endeavors or worse there are trading losses.
Now all of this is avoidable with good advice, a proper financial plan and budgets and regular monthly reviews.

When a business ceases to trade and goes into liquidation the creditors will agree to appoint a liquidator. The cost of this exercise can be as much as $50k which rapidly diminishes the outcome for everyone - creditors, staff, owner.

Again this situation is avoidable at a very modest cost by comparison. 

If you are experiencing any trading difficulties you most act fast and seek advice.
For every day that you leave your call to action the cost escalates rapidly.
