Multi-Company Accounting Software- what it means for your organisation

The ability to manage multiple companies with multi-locations, operations, currencies and tax realms completely independent from each other.  These are run via a single data file which consolidates and automates financial activities. In short, you no longer have to exit out of one company’s database to work in another. Your multi-company accounting software simplifies accounts payables and spending across entities by having one platform to view and search for information.

With a single data file, single source of truth, companies can share clients, vendors and financials. This means corporate head office can view accounts from all company locations. Employees can access inventory, customer data, invoices, orders and documents etc on nominated companies from different locations and devices.

Each company can go about their business processes and the multi-company software prepares individual financials and business reports. This ensures any errors or issues that may occur within one will be separated. For group financials and all areas of the business, access can be limited to corporate head office and management to ensure security and integrity of data.

Documents for Tax Return you need to file

Documents you need to file a tax return

Tax can be stressful and with the end of year tax return approaching fast, it’s best to start planning to avoid the headache. Your tax return reveals insights on how your business is performing. Decisions can be made on investments opportunities, where you can cut costs and opportunities arising to maximise profits.  Super, GST and ATO reporting are all part of your tax obligations, so what documents for tax return do you need to make sure are lodged properly? 

6 requirements of your business tax return

Not every business will have same requirements. Here are a few fundamentals that need to be calculated, and documents for tax return that are necessary to lodge a successful one. 

BAS and PAYG reporting

Have you been lodging your Business Activity Statement BAS, via SBR2 Pay-As-You-Go PAYG and superannuation throughout the year? Single Touch Payroll STP also became mandatory on the 1st July 2018 for companies with over 20 employees as the new way of paying wages. Your BAS reporting should be monthly or quarterly and its important they are accurate and efficient. 

Expense tracking

When it comes to expense tracking, make sure your data is up-to-date and categorised. This will make it easier to quickly determine your profit and loss. You should be keeping track of stock, inventory of products or parts so you can calculate cost of goods sold. 

Income Tracking

Your cash flow has to be accurately represented even if it’s a negative. It’s also important to know whether your company is using accrual (products or services are invoiced to a customer) or cash-basis accounting. The type of accounting you use will determine which recent transactions count as income for the current year and which are saved for next year’s taxes.

Separate Personal & Business Expenses

Expenses need to be categorised and separated as business or personal. Ideally, you’d want to have a separate business account, but if you don’t, this is incredibly important.

Deductions

Deductions such as mileage, travel, clothing and home office should be tracked throughout the year and claimed in your return.  Capital expenses like machinery can be depreciated over a longer period of time.

Reporting

You should have available the right data at the right time. Year-to-date (YTD) reports, payment summaries, turnover, Profit & Loss Balance Sheets, liabilities and more. With comprehensive reports you can focus on and remove bad debts, prepare and lodge for the ATO, and stay on top of your obligations.

If this seems a little overwhelming and your growing in size, it might be time to look at investing in accounting software. SapphireOne Accounting Software saves you time by automating processes and prefilling statements for the ATO. SapphireOne’s secure connection is complaint and ensures lodging of BAS, payroll, super and tax is fast and accurate. Your end of year business tax return can be calculated after generating reports with all the necessary financial information from your one data file.

7 alarm bells you’ve outgrown your business accounting system

Most businesses in the past have made the decision to invest in a business accounting system. Whether it was 5, 10 or even longer years ago, this was considered to be a large investment. Financial information and your accounting software, either managed by yourself, through an accountant or bookkeeper, was the core of your business. 

But as your business grows, are your needs becoming more complex to accommodate the ever-changing market savvy environment? Are simple additional applications like Excel for spreadsheets, Outlook for calendar to manage contacts becoming cumbersome? Do you feel your accounting software is struggling to keep up and holding you back?

If this is you, here are the seven signs it’s time to change: 

1. Increased manual activities and paperwork

Are your employees spending too much time entering data twice and sorting through paperwork? This starts distracting you from growing your business as more customer relationships and employees end up equating to increased re-keying of data into the accounting software.

2. Lack of data integration

Do you need to call specific people within your organisation to obtain information? This is a big issue when your business accounting system doesn’t integrate and managers can’t see across the organisation’s operations. Your accounting software needs to give you a much needed 360’ view of your accounts, warehouse, inventory, payroll and CRM.

3. Limited customer relationships

Are you finding your customer relationships and experiences need to evolve to include marketing and online sales? eCommerce sites with live product information and sales from websites have to connect to a centralised customer database. Accounting software isn’t as complex as an ERP system to handle your finances, purchasing, inventory, sales and marketing in one.

4. Limited mobile capabilities

Can your employees access your business accounting system offline? Working 9-5 in the office has changed, the demand for mobile capabilities to do the job anywhere, anytime, on any device is becoming more prevalent. 

5. Inadequate reporting

Is the template-based reporting functionality limiting? Are you creating reports in Excel to generate them the way you would like? As a business grows the need emerges for sophisticated, comprehensive, customisable and easy to interpret reports that show what’s impacting your business. 

6. Working outside your system

Is more and more accounting work occurring in Excel or other applications than your business accounting system? Accessing other systems to see your financial data and information, or to do your job, is not putting your time to best use.

7. Performance issues

Is your system software or hardware not the latest upgrade and providing sluggish performance? Heavier demands resulting from increased data and users makes the system slow and can result in corrupt or frozen data during processing.

If you said yes to any or all of the above points, it’s time to look at a new business accounting system like SapphireOne ERP, CRM, DMS and Business Accounting Application.  

Integration is a critical component in getting the most out of your ERP system. When there is a strong integration between different areas of your business, errors can be reduced, productivity increased, and your ERP can generate more timely and accurate information for management.
