Another new year has started and as we all know this is the time of year for new beginnings. Out with the old and in with the new! Doing away with old habits to make way for your “new year, new you”- philosophy. And in the spirit of new beginnings, we want to pose a question to you – why not have the same way of thinking when it comes to your business? Why not do away with all the clutter and bad habits, and start afresh?
We have a hunch that it has something to do with wanting to wait for the end of your current financial year. It will most likely sound something like this – “We’ll hire that new employee in the new financial year”, “We’ll update our policies in the new financial year”, Or even “We’ll move to a new accounting firm at the end of this financial year”.
Why? Because you believe it makes managing your affairs effective.
That being said, we are delighted to break a little piece of very important news to you…
You don’t have to wait until your company’s year-end rollover has been done to move to a new accounting firm!
Happy news, isn’t it?
Sometimes in business, a relationship with a service provider, such as an accounting agency, just doesn’t fit in with your management style or experience requirements or they don’t deliver their services as promised. When this happens business owners find it easier to wait until the end of their current financial year to end the relationship and move forward to a new service provider. And even though we completely understand the reasoning, we want you to know that it’s not necessary to wait for the new financial year to appoint new accountants.
When a new accounting agency takes over your books, they will assess the state of affairs and determine what needs to be done. This is irrespective of how far the financial year has progressed. Any issues will then be addressed, ensuring that there is no domino effect of errors brought forward into the new financial year. If we consider this, don’t you think the time to re-assess your accounting/tax/payroll needs is now?
Declutter your business while you declutter your life and start the new financial year on a fresh accounting sheet. If you thought sorting out your closet at the start of each year gives you joy – just imagine how relieved, you’ll be knowing your accounting needs are in good hands!
