This involves choosing to operate on cash-basis or accrual-basis.
Cash basis records a transaction when cash is received whilst accrual records it even when cash doesn’t exchange hands.
The choice differs with business type but knowing which basis to choose sets a foundation for successful business.

This involves establishing a systematic bookkeeping cycle custom built to suit the type of your business.

We help you setup a custom Chart of Accounts for your business.
This is organised to make it easy to produce required financial statements.
All accounts related to financial statements will be identified and listed.

The system lays how employees handle cash and company assets whilst a backup plan for data storage is worked on.
This is vital in deciding the future of your business.
5. Tracking & Monitoring Sales and Purchases
Every business owner needs to know and track every dollar that comes in and out of the business.
Journals and ledgers are set to capture all transactions for financial reporting purposes.
This will keep accurate and updated records of all sales and inventory trends for avoiding under/overstocking.
6. Paying your employees
It is the responsibility of every employer to make sure employees are paid accurately.
We ensure all required government documents are dealt with when a new employee is hired.
Other staffing issues like payroll management, paying all employee tax due are some of the things we do on your behalf.
7. Employer tax & testing your books
At the end of an accounting period, we test all transactions to check if all were captured and accurately recorded.
We will balance your books, starting with checking the accuracy of the cash balance, then move on to the trial balance, find errors and correct them.
Therefore all receipts should be kept as supporting trails to used when need arises.
8. Preparation of Financial Statements
Having put all transactions in order, the need to summarize them follows.
We prepare the income statement together with the statement of financial position for your business.
These two statements will show the overall financial health of your company as of that particular date.
Your accounting period can be weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.
