ONLINE ACCOUNTING & BOOKKEEPING SOLUTIONS


 
Consider Roy’s case 
 
Roy operates a courier business in the Macedon Ranges. His bookkeeping system is extremely outdated – receipts in shoeboxes and problematic spreadsheeting systems.  
 
Roy approached our office to get an understanding of the new generation of online or cloud based bookkeeping systems available. His current system is extremely time consuming and inefficient.  
 
Benefits of using an online system:    
  • Ability to receive bank feeds which directs bank transactional data each day to the accounting system, no need to key in bank transactions.   
  • Improved debtor and invoicing control, which assists in cash flow.   
  •  Access anywhere technology, from a computer, laptop, tablet or phone. 
We assisted Roy with a trial version of a suitable product and after completing his first Business Activity Statement he was amazed at the time saved not only at month end but also during the period.  

Should you wish to discuss your administration needs please contact Andrew Marshall or Janine Orpwood at Langley McKimmie Chartered Accountants on (03) 5427 8100 for an initial consultation.

DO YOU OPERATE IN THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY? HAVE YOU LODGED YOUR TAXABLE ANNUAL PAYMENTS REPORT?


 
Businesses that operate in the building and construction industry need to report the total payments they make to each contractor for building and construction services each year.  The 2017 Taxable Annual Payments Report is due 28 August 2017.

The Tax Office has recently been cracking down on outstanding TPAR’s with penalties up to $1,800 per outstanding lodgement. If you have not lodged a report for your business which operates in the building and construction industry then you may be liable for penalties. If you would like to discuss your reporting obligations further please contact us.

MAINTAINING LIVESTOCK AND RAINFALL RECORDS


Accounting for primary production livestock on small holdings can be challenging. Remembering births, deaths and other movements during the year is often difficult when 30 June rolls around.

Here at Langley McKimmie, we have developed a wall chart to assist with the recording of livestock movements throughout the year. We have combined it with a rainfall chart and calendar.

If you would like a copy, please feel free to drop in to collect one.
