It pays to get all your bookkeeping and accounting services under one roof. If one team of professionals looks after your accounting and tax needs, you are assured of a measure of continuity that will ensure that your business runs more smoothly and you stay within the requirements of the law in terms of your accounting practices.
If you have a small or medium enterprise and you have no need for a full-time bookkeeper or the related human resources and potential labour difficulties, contract out your bookkeeping and accounting services to a specialist company. Sole proprietors and small businesses alike have experienced the advantages of contracting out their accounting services. One of the major advantages is that your company has a reduced staff overhead; you would also have more time and resources available on growing your business instead of having to manage yet another in-house function. May we suggest a checklist of factors to keep in mind when selecting your accounting company:
Ensure that your service provider is able to provide full bookkeeping, accounting and payroll services. They should be able to perform both your credit control and bad debt management. In addition, they should be able to furnish you will all the appropriate tax advice and assistance, both with regards to personal and company tax returns as well as the preparation and submission of company statutory tax returns to SARS. Should you be planning a start-up business or wish to expand an existing one, they should be able to register your close corporation or company too, while assisting you with the preparation of a sound business plan for submission to financial institutions. Lastly, they should have the full range of Pastel® accounting software available for you to buy.
