Questions, you should be asking
Can you help with managing company finances?
Need money to get growing? Most grants and all banks are going to want to see accurate financial records and reports before dropping any sweet cashola into your account. Our team of experts can provide you with guidance to access grants and loans and help you achieve your goals faster.
Do you help with tax compliance and reporting for professional services firms?
If you tend to avoid calls with the ATO and leave all the thinking about your tax until the end of the financial year, you’re not the only one. Without the help of an accountant, tax specialist or bookkeeper it’s easy to become confused by what is required to remain compliant and keep your numbers in the black. As small business tax and accounting specialists, it’s our job to maintain records and reporting and keep you compliant. We’re here to bring you peace of mind when it comes to record keeping and financial reporting, so you can get back to keep building your business.
Can you set-up or help streamline my accounting and finance processes?
We’ve got our heads in the cloud — in a good way. Using a cloud accounting program and other technology – like adding Stripe so clients can pay your invoices using their credit card – can streamline business processes and drive efficiency. Imagine not spending hours scanning in receipts or typing up invoices because those processes are now on autopilot. We’re all about helping you work smarter, not harder.
Will you support me with cash flow, budgeting and forecasting?
Every business, regardless of industry, needs to consider cash flow, budgeting and forecasting. They’re the cogs that keep your business wheels turning. Because revenue means nothing if you’re not charging enough for your services or your customers aren’t paying on time. Money flowing into your business makes life easier and allows you to plan further ahead. We can help you with all of that.
Can you provide business planning advice?
We can provide you with strategic business advice to help you make the most of the present but also plan for a bright future. That could involve putting together a five-year plan for your business with goals and milestones or workshopping how you can streamline your services and make your business leaner and more profitable, plus a whole lot of other stuff in between.
Do you help with managing company finances for professional services?
You’re a whizz at what you do, but you can’t be expected to know everything about accounting and bookkeeping – it’s not your field of expertise. But it is ours. If you’re ready to upgrade and streamline the management of your finances we can help you. As well as introducing you to cloud accounting, which you can access anywhere and at any time, we can integrate other technology to automate many of the financial aspects of your business.
Why choose Illumin8 for your professional services business?
