Are All Your Business Finances In Place?

by | Sep 25, 2013

If your business is like many other small businesses, you probably think you have all your financial systems in place.  You might not realise that you’ve missed something until it is too late.

As Business Victoria says, keeping on top of your business finances can be hard work, but being aware of your finances can improve your cash flow and profitability.  Being prepared and doing financial forecasts can help you raise finance and prevent the unexpected from harming your profitability too.

To help you, they have put together a quite comprehensive checklist to make sure you have the financial basics in place.  The checklist includes links to financial tools and templates that will help you fix any problems you identify as you work your way through the form.

The checklist covers areas such as wages, supplier basics, sales and marketing, pricing, budgeting and more.

If you do nothing else to maintain your financial health this week, I encourage you to download the list and start working your way through it.

If you find gaps that you don’t know how to fill or perhaps don’t have the time to work on it right now, give us a call on 02 9997 5662 today.

I’d been stalking Sophie for a while since I saw some of the great work she did at Ideas Book. What she’s up to at the SOHO Agency is equally impressive and I’m delighted to have someone working in this space who I feel so confident referring onto others. Keep being brilliant Sophie!

I have had many a chat with Sophie on the networking circuit. Sophie has a strong profile and reputation within business circles and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any soho needing direction, support and encouragement. I have a passion for educating small business myself and wholeheartedly support Sophie in her endeavour to actively reduce costs for those who may be unintentionally making uninformed decisions relating to business management. Many business owners are unnecessarily outsourcing tasks which are misdirected or can be achieved inhouse.

I’ve worked with Sophie as a contributor to Confessions of a Mumpreneur – a fantastic book that she dreamt up, edited and produced. Apart from producing fabulous books that help so many others realise their entrepreneurial dreams, Sophie is an astute business person who is making her mark on her own terms. Watch this space – I’m sure we’ll see and hear a lot more from Sophie Andrews in the years to come.

I got to know Sophie through my previous employer where Sophie still handles the bookkeeping side of things. While we worked together I have found Sophie very accurate, punctual and very pleasant to work with. And recommend her highly.

I was recommended to The Accounts Studio at a networking event and have been working with them for the last 2 years. The team have all been very approachable and available – two things essential when it comes to understanding your accounts! I now no longer have the stress every three months of getting my BAS correct and even better I have a clear understanding of where my company is financially! Thanks Sophie and TAS team!
