Xero User Group Adelaide

In April we held our Xero User Group. With some fantastic speakers and lovely food the night was a great success. We are still looking for new people to come along. The next one is in October. With the Xero Conference in Melbourne we are thinking we will be able to share some ideas that presented themselves during the week’s conference. So the next one will be very interesting. xero-logo-lowres-RGB Michael from Clear Business Dynamics was the guest speaker. Being an advisor of Vend he was able to give us a run down on what Vend has to offer. Vend is a fantastic Xero add on, or something that can run by itself, for retail and hospitality industries. It tracks sales fantastically and can tell you your most popular items.   We hope to see you at the next Xero User Group meeting and if you require any assistance feel free to email me at support@janetpatton.com.au

3 Ways the Right Bookkeeper can Make a Huge Difference to your Business

1. Keep You Out of Trouble

As a minimum your bookkeeper should be keeping you out of trouble. Whether it's making sure you're payroll is compliant, or getting your BAS lodged on time the right bookkeeper will know how to do all these things. More importantly, the right bookkeeper will make sure you're up to date with all the new tax and payroll changes that seem to come through so often.

 

2. Get the Answers You Need... Now

The point of hiring a bookkeeper is not simply to get them in once a quarter to sort your business activity statement the week before it's due. They should be a partner in your business. It's worth investing the extra money to get them to keep ontop of your Xero file weekly or even daily. That way you, as the boss will know exactly where your business is, in real time.

Moreover, a great bookkeeper will not only set you up with management reports or dashboards. They will sit down with your and explain what you the numbers mean!

3. Predict the Future

Not only should you be getting your books kept up to date on a daily basis, your bookkeeper can build budgets and cashflow forecasts to help you predict the future, and let you know if you're going to run out of cash (which is probably the one thing keeping up most small business owners up at night).

Not all bookkeepers are created equal. It pays to have one or two meetings before engaging a bookkeeper to make sure they're not only a good fit for your business, but also to make sure they have the skills and abilities to deliver the type of service that you need. To that end, before you engage a bookkeeper, you should make sure you're very clear on what you want and what you need (and how much you're willing to pay for it). Once you've done that, you should ask other business owners and accountants for referrals.
