CPA in Hamilton, ON | Faris CPA

Most business owners find managing their finances and accounting books to be tricky. These two closely related tasks are surprisingly time-consuming and complex. It is all too easy to make a mistake that will have serious consequences for your business.

For example, not doing your bookkeeping properly, can easily lead to your not seeing an upcoming cashflow issue early enough for you to do something about it. In some cases, profitable businesses have ended up folding because they have not kept accurate accounts and been able to see trouble coming. If they had been able to generate cash flow reports they could have borrowed money to see them through those tight periods. Or perhaps have had a sale to turn stock over fast enough to fill the gap.

Poor accounting practices can also lead to mistakes being made on tax returns, which may mean an audit. Or, worse being fined, even prosecuted.
