A guide to accounting services in Auckland
Choosing accounting services in Auckland comes down to three questions: what do you need done, how often, and by whom. Most businesses need the same three things: records kept accurately, accounts and reports prepared, and tax returns filed correctly and on time.
Bookkeeping, accounting and tax: what is the difference?
Bookkeeping is the day-to-day work of recording and reconciling transactions in software such as Xero. Accounting turns those records into financial statements and monthly reports, and handles accrual accounting and more complex requirements. Tax covers the returns you file with Inland Revenue, such as income tax, GST and FBT, plus planning to keep your tax bill fair.
People talk about bookkeeping and accounting as separate disciplines. We group them, because both track the collection and spending of money and both feed the monthly reports that show where the money went.
Why businesses outsource their accounting
Nearly 35% of businesses now favour outsourced accounting. The reason is simple: it relieves owners of a significant burden. Handing over bookkeeping and accounting reduces the time spent on non-essential tasks, so you can focus on core business functions and increase profitability.
- Start-ups and sole traders get set up correctly without hiring staff.
- Growing companies get monthly numbers they can make decisions on.
- Large, established businesses get an outsourced accounts team that handles higher volumes.
What to look for in accounting services in Auckland
- A team that covers bookkeeping, accounting and tax, so nothing is handled twice.
- Fixed, clear pricing that you see before the work starts.
- Flexibility to scale up or down without a yearly contract.
