Bookkeeper Service – Why does your business need it?

Stay focused on your business by using a bookkeeping service to manage the day-to-day financial data. YML Group’s Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) service offers Bookkeeping to help you turn your attention towards the growth aspects – such as strategy and marketing – of your business.

What does a bookkeeping service do for your business?

Bookkeepers, generally, are involved in the daily tasks of financial data entry, including taxes, payroll, managing debtors and creditors, as well as tracking expenses and adhering to a company’s financial reporting protocols. A bookkeeping service can play a crucial role by undertaking the routine monetary work required to run a business.

Whereas, an accountant will oversee your business’s finances and will take an analytical approach to your financial data with their expertise in financial forecasting, profit and loss analysis, filing taxes and managing financial statements, including preparing a myriad of financial reports.

How might your business benefit from a bookkeeping service?

Up-to-Date Financial Accuracy

Running a business requires many fast-paced actions, including decision-making. Where a business owner has to deliver informed decisions requiring up-to-date financial information, the benefit of a bookkeeping service that manages that information means a business owner can readily improve a business with the knowledge of whether it can, for example, hire a new employee, increase office space or issue a purchase order for a new asset.

Tax-Time Compliance

There is a swathe of regulations around company taxes, including GST, BAS and PAYG withholding tax. It is important that a business keep financial records that enable accurate and timely reporting to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

If a business tries to manage their books themselves without the necessary qualifications or experience, there is a risk that the financial data is incorrectly entered and ATO penalties could be incurred. Missed tax payments due to human error or lack of knowledge can be avoided by using a bookkeeping service to stay on top of a company’s regulatory financial obligations and thereby reduce unwelcome costs to a business.

Management of Bills and Receipts

Businesses grow and become more complex – more customers, more products, more third-party suppliers, requiring an increase in payments and receipts. To prevent falling behind on paying creditors and to improve collection of receivables, a bookkeeping service ensures that liabilities are paid and that reminders are sent to debtors. Keeping check is what a bookkeeper is good at, improving a company’s credit rating and borrowing profile.

Timely Reporting of Financial Data

‘Balancing the books’ is essential for a successful business and when financial records are kept accurately and up-to-date, so financial reporting is easily produced for a business owner and other business stakeholders.

Working closely with a company’s accountant, a bookkeeper can deliver up-to-the-minute financial data necessary for an accountant’s analysis, forecasting and reporting.

Confidence to Focus on Future Business-Building

Bookkeeping, such as YML’s BPO service, is an affordable necessity for a well-run company and its growth-centric business owner. Overseeing the front-of-house operational functions to build a business is paramount for a business owner. If a business owner can leave the back-of-house functions such as financial data entry to experts by using a bookkeeping service, it makes sense to do so.

Developing a viable business model with a customer focus requires confidence, so trusting in a service to manage the books can make a huge difference to a company’s success.

YML is a leader in the field of BPO and we have helped many clients – individuals and SME companies – to build better businesses with the practice of outsourcing their business processes. Empower your organisation with BPO through YML Group Outsource Manila and watch your business grow.
