It can be difficult to know where to start and what tools are available when organising your finances. What is the best way to collate your important files and information? And how can this make your business run more smoothly? Our partner Auderli is here to break down the most important aspects to keep in mind when considering your business finances to get you started tackling this daunting but unavoidable task.

Tracking Assets and Liabilities

Often overlooked, assets and liabilities play a huge part in contributing to the overall value of your business. Keeping track of anything from expensive tools and machinery to business vehicles and properties helps you better understand where your business’s net worth stands aside from your profits. As well as this, financial liabilities such as accounts payable or money owed to suppliers should be factored into organising and improving the future of your business finances.

Storing Documents

Using a tool such as Auderli’s new document upload feature allows you to keep your business-related documents in an easily accessible and up-to-date system, close at hand whenever you need them. Some of the categories of these useful documents include:

Insurance

All businesses require various degrees of insurance to protect the business from harm or provide cover relating to employee safety. Accurate records of such documents are essential in the event of a claim.

Tax and Accounting

An efficient financial management system regarding tax and accounting makes it easier to see what tax is owed and share it with your accountant when needed.

Self-assessment

Uploading your HMRC self-assessment report will allow you to compare each tax year and easily access these files in case there is ever an issue regarding your income tax.

Agreements

Any agreements made with employers, other firms, or suppliers must be documented. Not only is this a requirement of being a contractor, but it’s also something you’ll want for your peace of mind.

Certificates

If you work within a specialist industry which requires you to have certifications to prove the quality of your work, then storing these somewhere accessible allows you to show prospective clients or employers easily.

Receipts and Expenses

Keeping an accurate record of receipts and expenses can greatly help when submitting tax returns and calculating your average spending.

Whether you’re a contractor who works with other people’s finances or a business owner who needs to share information with a business partner or solicitor, then keeping organised financial records allows you to take control when sharing certain confidential documents or information. When you know where things are, you can ensure that you only find and share the relevant information.

This speeds up various processes, such as accounting and tax assessments, and allows you to focus more on other aspects of your work.
