business accounting FAQs

  • Absolutely, doing your own BAS is well suited to those who are organised, understand GST rules, and are confident the bookkeeping is accurate.

    Where people get into trouble is assuming it’s just pushing a button. The accuracy of your BAS depends entirely on how well things have been coded during the quarter.

  • Yes, especially in the early stages this is very useful as there’s value in understanding your own numbers.

    The key is setting it up properly from day one. Chart of accounts, GST settings, and payroll setup are the key things to think about.

    The other side to this is that there is a lot to think about when a business is in start up stage - thats when some prefer to hand the bookkeeping responsibility over

  • Cash runway - how many months your business can keep operating at its current spending level before the cash runs out.

    Gross margin - the percentage of revenue left after direct costs, showing how much room you actually have to cover overheads and profit.

    Debtor days - the average number of days it takes your customers to pay you.

    And the gap between “profit” and actual cash in the bank.

    A common oversight is that most small business owners are busy running the business, so they look at revenue and assume things are fine. The early warning signs are usually there, tightening margins, slowing collections, and rising costs, but they’re easy to miss if you’re not reviewing them regularly.

  • Cash accounting records transactions when money moves in or out of the business bank account

    Accrual accounting records income and expenses when they’re earned or incurred — regardless of when payment happens.

        Cash accounting shows you your level of liquidity.

    Accrual shows you true business performance.

    Both need to be reviewed and understanding the difference helps you avoid thinking you’re profitable when you might only just be ahead on collections from customers.

  • Accounting is backward looking - tells you what’s already happened. Forecasting helps you think ahead: hiring decisions, pricing, funding, tax, growth.

    Forecasting doesn't have to be based on complex models either - even a simple 12-month cash projection can be effective as it forces you to think strategically instead of just reacting to what has just happened.
