2020 Checklist

March 31st, 2020 | Posted by Accountants Auckland in Accountant in Auckland | Annual Accounts | Chartered Accountant Auckland | Financial Statements | Xero Accountant / Zero Accountants - (Comments Off on 2020 Checklist)

What a way to end the financial year!  It feels more like the 89th of March, rather than the 31st.  We’re sorry if you haven’t heard from us already but we’ve been overwhelmed with some clients struggling to keep up with booming sales while others are facing the very real pain of not surviving this.  If isolation boredom has kicked in, you might actually be “looking forward to” getting your end-of-year tax records sorted and, if that’s the case, you’ll find a list of what to send us below.  Another boredom buster you should be doing today is writing off your bad debts and doing your stocktake.  If your inventory software isn’t reliable then a physical stocktake should be your first priority when lockdown ends.

Take care & stick together but obviously at a distance!  ❤  [Checklist on Page 2]

It’s a bit like that 1980’s advert where two over-sized mice are debating whether they can get the cheese out of a giant mousetrap by themselves. In true kiwi style they decide it’s “worth a crack” and sadly, with a slam of the trap, it’s all over for poor Nigel the mouse.  Having a crack at your own tax return is just the same except you won’t see the traps.  The traps only become visible when you’re audited and by then it’s too late.  (more…)
