Tips For Smoother Processing

Keep your business/s, personal & investments transactions separate. If the need arises, transfer funds to one account to the other, to provide extra cash flow.
Have separate Bank Accounts – one for each of your business & one for each of the investments & separate ones for your personal transactions.
Have a separate credit card for your business. Remember to keep the receipts.
Check your paperwork against your statements to make sure it’s all there. Write any additional information on the paperwork that you think we need to know. Attach everything to the relevant month’s statement.
If any purchases are brought by you personally, use the expense claim form to reimburse yourselves back & place all relevant documentation behind the form for processing.
Make sure you have tax invoices for everything you purchase so the GST component can be claimed. No invoice will mean the GST cannot be claimed, as this is an ATO Ruling.

Outsource Bookkeeping

The growing manner of doing business online has also brought forth the idea of outsourcing bookkeeping. Remember, this can be a cost-effective method as it can save time and, in turn, money. A company employing this method may hire a bookkeeper at least once a month in order to keep records up to date. Many small business owners say this allows them to widen their focus on other essential parts of the business, making managing more encompassing. This, in turn, can lead to faster growth for the business.
