7 Ways Bookkeepers Can Help Improve Cash Flow

Surviving a Slow Season and Increasing your Cash Flow - BMH Bookkeeping,  Payroll & Accounting
Hi There,

Bookkeeping is an essential part of everyone’s life. You have to manage your finances and organise your books because all of us have to pay our taxes at the end of the day. Accounting makes the lives of entrepreneurs easy, and being an entrepreneur I totally understand this. However, I learnt about its importance in an organisation the hard way. I was good at number crunching so never thought about hiring a professional to do the books and take a look at the inferences. So my business was in its second year and we were planning to grow, so I invested in equipment that would allow us to produce more in less time. However, over the next six months, I got burdened by massive debt I had taken to purchase the equipment. It was proving to be a bad decision as I did not take a look at the accounts before buying. I realised that if I had a bookkeeper, he would have definitely advised otherwise. Anyway, I had to sell the machine and tried to make the payments as soon as possible. However, I was not able to get more capital. I finally understood that I needed professional guidance. Just being good at maths doesn’t give you the sense of financial management. You need an expert to help you with the day-to-day accounting functions that can help keep the books updated and manage debts. Bookkeepers help by making accurate and error-free calculations and recordkeeping which comes handy at the time of filing taxes and submitting financial reports. Although I had been doing the reporting for the past two months, I realised how bad I was at it when my bookkeeper showed me the right way to do it. I was amazed to see the improvement in processes when we started using accounting software to do most of the stuff. It was incredible how things got streamlined and I had to spend so less time on the books. The deductions made by the bookkeeper made a lot more sense to me when he explained each and every aspect of recordkeeping. Last but not the least; I was blown away by his techniques of improving the cash flow. It was amazing how managing relationships with the suppliers got us supplies on time and how he got me refinanced to a low-interest business loan. We started invoicing diligently and there were no delays in getting payments. Finally, we started achieving the results with efficient bookkeeping.

Coronavirus means Australia won't meet migration forecasts for a decade

Migration in Australia has collapsed amid border closures brought in to stop the spread of the coronavirus, and net migration figures are unlikely to reach government forecasts from the 2019 budget for the rest of the 2020s, according to one immigration expert.

The prime minister, Scott Morrison, announced in March that Australia would close its borders to non-citizens and non-residents. From April, “both inwards movements and outwards movements just collapsed”, a former immigration department deputy secretary, Abul Rizvi, told Guardian Australia.

Australia set to join 'the greatest human capital harvest in recent memory'

Australia is about to grant special immigration access for Hong Kong people who want to flee the newly repressive law imposed by Beijing to remove some key liberties. Australia's federal cabinet is scheduled to consider some options at its Wednesday meeting.

Whatever the specifics, Scott Morrison has signalled the result already. Asked last week whether he was considering offering safe haven to Hong Kongers, he said: "If you are asking are we prepared to step up and provide support? The answer is yes."

Coronavirus: Australia's economy brutalised by pandemic lockdowns, report finds

The coronavirus pandemic has brutalised Australia's economy as lockdowns are tipped to bring major financial downturns this calendar year, a new report has found.
The country's economy is expected to shrink by an overall three per cent, however Victoria's economic output alone will fall by 3.5 per cent, followed by Tasmania and Western Australia, the Deloitte report says.
"Even though this is turning out to be a better year than expected, it's still a shocker," Chris Richardson from Deloitte Access Economics told 9News.

Australia’s media has been too white for too long. This is how to bring more diversity to newsrooms

The case for a more diverse and representative media should be clear by now - it’s been made time and time again.

But it’s instructive to take stock every now and then. Over the last month alone, we’ve seen a number of clear examples of why greater diversity in media matters:

the all-white, 20-seat Melbourne Press Club board failing to elect a single person of colour in recent elections

ABC’s Insiders being criticised for having no people of colour on the program for the last ten years (something it finally rectified by inviting on Triple J’s political reporter Shalailah Medhora and the ABC’s first-ever Indigenous foreign correspondent, Bridget Brennan)
