FAQs

What industries do you specialise in?

We work small businesses, many of whom are service-based but also small manufacturing & retail businesses.  We have experience with tradies, health services, professional servicesconstruction and retail businesses. We don't limit ourselves in any particular industry - we specialise in helping our clients improve the value of their business, as a key asset to one day sell or pass on to family members.

I’m about to start a business - where do I start?

A great first step is booking a chat with us so we can understand you, your business and how we can help. We value getting to know you personally, so we can provide you with the best advice.

From there, we can help you set up the right structure, implement the right software and help you develop the right processes so that your business ticks all the right boxes so that you can grow into the business you always dreamt of.

What is the difference between accounting and bookkeeping, and do I need both?

Bookkeeping is a crucial component within the broader accounting system. It involves recording and organising your financial data; from your invoices and business transactions.

Accounting, on the other hand, utilises the information from your bookkeeping  to generate financial reports and cashflow statements to track how your business is performing.

These two functions, Bookkeeping and Accounting, collaborate closely, hence why we partner with bookkeepers who align with our values and believe they provide some of the best services. Alternatively, if you have your own bookkeeper (internal or external) we are happy to work with them too.

Can you help us set up a payment plan with the ATO?

In short, yes. We can guide you to deal with the ATO yourself or we can speak to them on your behalf if required.

What do you need me to supply you with to complete my Financials and Tax Return?

It's different for every individual and business owner. Rest assured, we'll supply you with a checklist with everything we need from you.

Should I move to cloud Accounting software, like Xero?

We’re a big fan of cloud accounting, specifically we work with Xero. We can help you set up your Xero account and in conjunction with our recommended book-keepers train and support you and your business to ensure you are getting the best experience with the software.

Some benefits include:
Accessibility: You can access your accounting and financial records anywhere with internet - including via mobile.
Real-Time Collaboration: Which means multiple users including us as your accountants, and other business owners, can work on the same set of financial data simultaneously.
Data Security: Cloud accounting softwares invest a significant amount into securing your data, which is likely a lot more secure than internal storing systems.
Automatic Backups: Cloud accounting systems automatically back up data, reducing the risk of data loss due to hardware failure, accidents, or other unforeseen events.
Integration with Other Software: Cloud accounting software often integrates seamlessly with other business applications and tools, such as CRM systems, payment processors, and project management software. This integration streamlines workflows and reduces manual data entry.

How can TAK help prepare me to sell my business?

If you’re at the stage where you’re planning to sell your business or you have been approached to sell your business we can support you:

  • to understand  your business value and what would be a realistic price
  • prepare the right financial statements
  • provide a clear process for you to follow

How often would we meet for regular updates?

It depends on where you are at with your business. Our annual package includes an annual meeting to review the year just passed and plan for the upcoming year. This is good for those who have an established business that is running to plan.

Of course we encourage you to contact us at any point over the year for any queries you may have.

However not everyone is good at all things such as strong financial management. Your business may require some extra TLC and we can discuss adding in extra reviews for things such as a third party sounding board on everyday business/financial issues, cashflow problems, additional funding requirements and unexpected roadblocks which impact your business.

How do I best structure my business?

Structuring your business as a Sole Trader, Partnership, Company or Trust will depend on a lot of factors in your business including business size, owners, finance, and plans to grow. That’s why it’s important to meet with an accountant who specialises in small businesses who can understand your business in-depth. All to provide you with the best structuring advice to  your tax, and get you closer to your long-term goals in business.

What about a self-managed super fund?

Establishing your own Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) can offer great advantages in increased autonomy and versatility in accessing investment opportunities within your superannuation. However, managing an SMSF comes with a lot of responsibilities to ensure you are remaining compliant and investing in the best way possible for you and your business.

At TAK we work with financial planners to ensure that you have the best set up for you SMSF for your financial goals and that you have the best investment strategy to align with you and your business. We provide accounting and tax advice for your SMSF and help you keep compliant.
