What is a rescue?

It’s not deliberate. You had good intentions. Time runs away from you because you are busy running a business. Before you know it, it’s BAS time AGAIN and you know you’re going to have to spend the weekend getting it done. You feel like you are chasing your tail.

Maybe you beg other people to do it for you. But no matter how nicely you plead it still doesn’t get done.

Or maybe you had someone who you thought you could trust but got it all wrong because of their inexperience.

Over time the problem becomes so big that:

• It has taken over your office
• You’re not quite sure what’s in there
• It keeps you awake at night
• You don’t know where to start
• You’re fearful that the ATO will call
• You have no idea how much tax or GST you owe
• You are completely in the dark

Your office is like an untrained dog

• Messy. You find things on the floor
• You get complaints
• Fines for bad behaviour
• You never know where they have hidden things
• They damage your relationships and reputation

What’s the good news?

We can tame your office because we use The Pure Bookkeeping System to empower business owners in their financial matters, removing confusion, fear and uncertainty and replacing it with clarity, freedom and control.

Because every “rescue job” is as individual as you are we can’t say exactly what we need to do to clean it up, get you up to date or how long it will take. During the initial consultation when we complete a “Health Check” (link to Health Check) we will explain to you what the problems are and what needs to happen to transform your data file into a source that provides you with reliable information.

Bookkeeping Issues:

Essentially though we will do whatever it takes as quickly and efficiently as possible. Some of the issues we will address are:

• Bank Accounts or Credit Cards that don’t reconcile with the Statements
• Old unpresented transactions in the Bank Account or Credit Card
• Trade Debtors and Trade Creditors don’t balance with the Balance Sheet
• The Trade Debtors and Trade Creditors aren’t “real” i.e. outstanding invoices and bills have already been paid but still showing as outstanding
• Incorrect previously lodged BAS’
• Payroll Categories that are incorrectly set up therefore giving you incorrect information in Payslips, AL & SL Accruals, incorrect Tax Tables, SGC Calculations and Payment Summaries
• Unreliable Inventory figures

The implications of these issues are:

• You may be paying the wrong GST, Tax and Superannuation
• You may be subject to fines and interest
• You may be making strategic business decisions based on unreliable figures with dire consequences

And if that sounds like a whole other language to you, don’t worry we are speak fluent “Bookkeeper”
