Frequently Asked Questions

As soon as you start to think about your business, an accountant can help you take the following steps. We can discuss your business's organisation, tax purposes and operations, along with target pricing and profit margins.   

Contacting us is very easy. You can use any of the following options:

• Email us at office@accobiz.co.nz, and we will respond as soon as we can.
• Fill out the simple form on the contact us page and submit it. We will be in touch shortly.

How often we should talk is depends on your requirements and nature of business. We may have to speak constantly to ensure your business is going in the right direction at the initial stage. Afterwards, we both can agree on when to talk and meet. However, you can contact us whenever you need our advice or guidance. We are happy to help. 

We are always up to date on the latest tax laws. We can discuss this with you and work out a tax plan to avoid paying unnecessary taxes. Further, we will have your taxes prepared way before the deadline because we stay on top of your accounting work throughout the year so that filing taxes will be on time.

Though we will keep you informed of important things such as business profitability and tax payment due dates, it is always good to check with us on an ongoing basis. When you make business decisions, especially those with financial impact, you should ask our opinion to make wise decisions. Some examples of these decisions are whether to hire an independent contractor or employ another full-time staff, whether you should rent or purchase your office equipment, and company car.

We will check that you are profiting more than you are spending. If we see expenses increasing and profits staying at the same level, we will bring it to your attention and guide you on what you need to do to improve the business's profits. We will let you know if you are spending too much money on something and whether you need to spend more in another area. Otherwise, you may believe that all the money put into the business will benefit the business growth.

We can prepare a budget for you and notify the variances promptly to take corrective action on time. Further, we can put business growth strategies in place, help to implement and monitor the actual growth. Being in control of cash flow is essential if a business is going to be successful. We can prepare a suitable and realistic cash flow model for you to ensure the company can survive during difficult times.
