Whilst I am an accountant, I was trained on how to do tax returns and prepare financial statements. I was never trained on how to run a business, manage cash flow or look at budgets and I bet you haven't been trained on these things either. Well, that's about to all change.Get ready to simplify the management of your businesses cash flow.

Remember when you used to earn a wage and you needed to budget to ensure that your weekly, fortnightly or monthly wage covered all your costs? Well you need to do the same in business.It's important to keep track of your expenses and make sure they stay in line with the income. They they stay under control and don't blow out when the income starts rolling in. It's also important to look at the reverse. Look at your minimal spend every month and make sure that you know how much revenue you need to cover them, that's your baseline for a viable business.
Amanda was running her own accounting business with many employees during the GFC.During that time she saw a massive downturn in her business which is very similar to the downturn in a lot of businesses during the COVID-19 lockdown.

These aren't good deposits because at some point in the future you are going to have to pay them back.The key here is to understand the difference between revenue and capital receipts and which ones will impact your profit and loss and which ones just help your cash flow in the short term but will need to be paid back.

Welcome to Episode #5 of the Seeing Through the Numbers Podcast.

He is a CA and registered Tax Agent and has experience working in large organisations and also small businesses. This experience has given Nick an appreciation for just the right amount of process and procedures required to develop a high functioning finance team / operation.Nick is highly effective in analysing a process and then recommending /implementing efficiencies either through automation or more general process improvements. The end result is an enhancement to the existing process and creation of a more efficient operating environment saving businesses time and money.
Episode # 4 of the Seeing Through the Numbers Podcast is all about bookkeeping and how cloud systems like Xero have simplified this process.
I started using Xero back in 2012 when it was still an unknown in Australia. At the time, I was regularly getting enquiries from new start-up businesses and I set them all up on Xero, gave them an hour or two of training on how to use it and they were up and running. It's that simple to use. After six months of doing that, I converted my own office accounts from MYOB to Xero and immediately saved myself 4 hours a month in data processing time. From that time onwards, I've been shouting from the rooftops and telling everyone I see how awesome Xero is. I even wrote a book about it - Connected Technology - How to Transform Your Business with Cloud Accounting.
Fast forward to now and whilst all the benefits that were espoused in 2012 are still valid, like the time savings, the automation of data entry, the ability for your advisors to see your numbers, real-time up-to-date numbers, the greatest benefit is in having those numbers readily available to help you to make decisions and to see what's happening in the business. I'll be talking to Nick Urry from Dexterous Accounting next week about how bookkeeping can be simplified.
