Nasty words

Scared of all those nasty words that float around business when it gets hard?
Working hard, you know there should be a profit in there somewhere?
The bookkeeper and the accountant seems to have their own special language and you feel you aren’t in their loop – but you keep paying their bills.

Something we need to talk about in time of trouble The Australian Government has temporarily changed bankruptcy law to help protect people who are facing unmanageable debt as a result of the economic impacts of COVID-19. If you’re a sole trader, or operating a business as a partnership, you could face personal bankruptcy if you can’t pay your debts. If you’re in financial difficulty you can now apply for temporary debt protection; this prevents recovery action by unsecured creditors for six months. You can use the time to: Change your habits, stop spending so that you don’t solve on crisis and create another. This can also mean a change of culture. Seek help for those things that may have caused your problem. If you gamble start by getting rid of the betting app. Be honest about your situation with those around, but do not ask them to bail you out if you haven’t changed your spending, financial and monetary habits and culture.

All I want is direction and solutions That’s why I am sitting in front of you

Special Note for Construction and Contracting Businesses and Manufacturers that turn between $2 million and $10 million – you may be paying too much GST

No one seemed to notice the changes in reporting from accrual to cash for businesses up to $2 million dollars. That means that business that have been paying GST on debtor’s ledger and retentions may not have to do this saving in some of our experiences up to $100k a year and dramatically helping with cash flow and cash available to the business owner. We can run the Precis program over your business and show you the changes that can be made. You can road test this for little cost and may find that we can show you how we can make massive changes with a full implementation of our system. We have the experience of a transport business in Queensland being sold for $200k more than was expected, because the buyer could really see how the business was performing and was happy to pay the extra money for the business. Once a business gets beyond $2 million in turnover, it becomes complicated with more staff and subcontractors to manage, more red tape, more of everything. The use of t...
