SBA Small Business Accounting

Small Business Accounting (NZ) Ltd (SBA) has developed a supportive accounting service for the self employed, partnerships and small limited companies.

SBA challenges the traditional method of providing accounting services. It considers "year end only" accounting as inappropriate in todays business environment.

The SBA monthly service is designed to give clients on-going support, and to keep them informed (progressively) of their business profitability. It allows SBA to monitor the business on a regular basis, and to give advice at a time that it is pertinent.

For a fee which is very competitive with the "traditional year end only provider", SBA maintains an in-house computerised cashbook; prepares for the client, monthly profit summaries; calculates GST returns; produces a year end Profit and Loss statement, Balance Sheet, Depreciation Schedule; and prepares the client's tax return.

The service appeals to small business persons, who are attracted by the regular contact with their accountant, appreciate the receipt of topical trading information and advice, and relieved at knowing the GST returns are prepared as part of the service.

SBA has also developed as a specialist in rental property accounting. Few accounting companies are promoting this aspect, and the identification of this market niche is proving very successful.

At the instigation of several clients, SBA established a payroll service for small businesses.
