You have finished the job, sent the invoice and you are still waiting to be paid.

How quickly that money reaches your account can depend on a few simple things, including when you send the invoice, whether your payment terms are clear, how easy you make it for customers to pay, and when you follow up overdue accounts.

Having a consistent invoicing and follow up process can help you get paid sooner and spend less time chasing outstanding accounts.

This First Class Accounts article looks at practical ways to improve debtor management, including setting payment terms, making invoices easier to pay and following up overdue accounts.

First Class Accounts Ovens & Murray can also help you keep your invoicing and debtor records up to date.

Cloud accounting gives authorised users access to current financial information from wherever they’re working.
This can make it easier to check bank balances, outstanding invoices, bills, payroll information and reports without waiting for files to be sent or manually updated.
Access to current data also supports better cash flow management. When your bookkeeping is up to date, you have a better view of what is due to come in, what needs to be paid and where cash may be under pressure.
The technology itself is only part of the picture. The information going into the system still needs to be accurate and current if you want the reports coming out of it to be useful.
Good bookkeeping and well set up accounting software work together to give you a much better view of what is happening in your business.

Christmas is getting close, and many businesses will close or reduce hours over the holiday period.

Now is a good time to check whether there are completed jobs still waiting to be invoiced, overdue accounts that need following up, or regular customers who need to know your final invoice date before Christmas.

Getting invoices out earlier gives customers more time to process and pay them before they close for the break.

First Class Accounts Ovens & Murray can help keep invoicing and accounts receivable up to date in the lead up to Christmas.

Contact us if you need help getting your invoicing sorted before the end of the year.

If your business has a BAS due this month, the date depends on how often you lodge and how you lodge.

For November, the dates to know are:

🔹11 November for the July to September quarterly BAS if you lodge online yourself and are eligible for the ATO’s two week concession
🔹23 November for the October monthly BAS, as 21 November falls on a Saturday
🔹25 November for the July to September quarterly BAS if it is lodged through a registered BAS or tax agent under the ATO lodgement programhttps://app.socialpilot.co/posts/calendar #

Knowing which date applies gives you time to make sure your accounts are reconciled, GST coding is checked and your records are ready before lodgement.

First Class Accounts Ovens & Murray can help you work out which due date applies and prepare your BAS for lodgement. Contact us if you need help with your BAS.

Knowing what you can and cannot claim as a business expense starts with understanding which costs genuinely relate to running your business.

The Australian Taxation Office generally requires a business expense to be connected with earning business income. If an expense has both business and private use, only the business portion can generally be claimed.

You also need records that support the expense.

Keeping receipts, invoices and supporting information as transactions happen makes it much easier to provide accurate records when your accountant or registered tax agent prepares your tax return.

Is your accountant waiting on information from you?

Before they can prepare and lodge your return, they need complete and accurate records to work from.

That means bank accounts reconciled, receipts and invoices matched to transactions, GST coded correctly, and payroll and super records up to date.

Keeping your bookkeeping current throughout the year makes it easier to provide your accountant with the information they need when lodgement time comes around.

First Class Accounts Ovens & Murray can help get your records ready for your accountant.

Contact us if your bookkeeping needs attention before it is handed over.

It is deadline week, with a few dates worth checking.

Wednesday 28 October is the standard due date for the July to September BAS if you lodge on paper.

If you lodge your own tax return, the usual 31 October deadline falls on a Saturday this year, so the due date moves to Monday 2 November.

The PAYG withholding where ABN not quoted annual report is also normally due 31 October. This applies if you withheld tax from payments because a supplier did not quote an ABN. As the due date falls on a Saturday, lodgement can be made on the next business day.

First Class Accounts Ovens & Murray can help you work out which obligations apply and make sure your bookkeeping records are ready.

Contact us if you need help staying on top of your reporting deadlines.

If payroll depends on spreadsheets, manual calculations or repeated corrections, the system may not be properly set up for the way the business operates.

Manual workarounds can feel practical at the time, especially when the pay run needs to be completed. The issue is that those fixes can become part of the process without anyone stopping to ask why they are needed.

Over time, this can increase the risk of errors, double handling and payroll delays.

First Class Accounts Ovens & Murray can help identify where payroll is becoming too manual and where your systems or processes may need to be improved.
