Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between bookkeeping and business accounting?
Bookkeeping involves recording daily financial transactions, such as sales, purchases and payments. Business accounting takes this data and interprets it for reporting, compliance and financial planning. While bookkeeping provides the foundation, accounting focuses on preparing financial statements, analysing performance and managing obligations like tax and payroll.
How often should a small business update its financial records?
Financial records should be updated regularly, ideally weekly or monthly. This helps maintain accurate information for budgeting, meeting tax deadlines and tracking business health. Delays can lead to disorganised records, making compliance and reporting more difficult, especially during BAS or EOFY periods.
When should a sole trader consider switching to a company structure?
A sole trader might consider forming a company when their business grows or involves higher risk. Factors like increased revenue, liability protection or hiring staff can influence this decision. The structure affects tax rates, reporting duties and legal responsibilities, so it’s important to assess all implications before making changes.
