Bank Statement Reconciliation
The process of bank statement reconciliation can be very helpful to a business. It not only provides insight into the financial impacts on your business of various expenses, but can also help to ensure you’re well-prepared for tax filings. As part of our bank statement reconciliation service, we analyse your business accounts and compare them with your bank statements to ensure both records match up. If they don’t, we identify why. As part of this, we examine your bookkeeping, fix any errors we find, and scrutinise outgoing payments to ensure no payment errors or fraudulent transactions have occurred.
Tax Preparation and Compliance
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) actively targets non-compliant small and medium-sized enterprises, which is why it’s vital to get business tax right. Our team of BAS and IAS experts can assist you to navigate your tax concerns and ensure no areas are neglected. Whether it’s GST, Fringe Benefits Tax, Payroll Tax, Income Tax, or other form of tax, we ensure you have the structures in place to meet both your financial requirements and your tax obligations. We also assist with resolving retrospective tax issues.
Business Financial Planning and Analysis
Using benchmarking and other tools we can help you identify useful insights into your business. We help you to consider strategic options – looking at your business in new ways whether it’s a growth or consolidation approach. And then we help you to implement your strategies. Our activities include:
- Industry benchmarking review of your business
- Business model review and strategy on a page
- Strategic risk analysis & change modelling
- Business plan formulation and direction
- Strategy implementation
We also review your financial statements, examining the cost of your operations, evaluating your existing risk management practices, and ensuring your bookkeeping and tax processes are in order. We can establish a clear sight of where your cash flow is, and a picture of your business’s overall profitability. With this knowledge, we can forecast where your business looks to be headed, and assist in creating a financial strategy that will see you progress in a more profitable direction.

- Debt prevention, including establishing clear payment terms with clients, processes to track payments

Frequently asked questions
Have questions? We are here to help.
Accountants can provide valuable advice, assist with minimising tax liabilities, and can collaborate with professionals like lawyers and financial planners where needed. Financial advisors, on the other hand, bring essential skills to areas such as business cash flow, corporate superannuation for employees, insurance, and wealth management, which can help ensure you have a comprehensive approach to financial planning. For these reasons, many business owners who prioritise a secure financial future engage both accountants and financial advisors. The Business Solutions Hub offers the best of both worlds, with access to both accredited accountants and financial advisors.
