Do you spend too much time on your accounts? It could be time to engage the services of a BAS agent to help you with bookkeeping and ATO reporting.
Agilis Books can speak with you about how we can help you save time and money.
Working with a BAS agent can benefit your business more than you may realize!
Many business owners starting out try to save on costs by doing their own bookkeeping, but this is one of the first tasks you can outsource to give yourself time and save money.
If you can work on your business to generate more sales, why spend that valuable time on administration and accounts management?
What is a BAS Agent?
A BAS agent is a registered tax professional, and is trained in the complexities of GST and other laws – meaning you don’t have to become an expert in areas that are not your passion or skill set.
What a BAS Agent can do for your business
Once the agent has become familiar with your business operations, they can not only take care of the transactional recording, financial reporting, and compliance requirements, but they can assist you in better understanding your day-to-day business performance.
A BAS agent can become a trusted member of your management team along with your tax agent, providing accurate and timely financial advice and insights to help you make better business decisions and plan for long-term success.
BAS Services
A BAS agent can ascertain and advise the business owner on correct liability amounts and submit statutory reports to the ATO and other agencies on behalf of the owner.
BAS provisions include determining GST liabilities, PAYG withholding obligations, employee superannuation contributions, and submitting taxable payments reports and Single Touch Payroll.
What makes a great BAS Agent?
Professional BAS agents keep up with ongoing education and development, use industry best practices, take the time to ask questions and understand your organisation, and do their best to assist and advise your business. They will work proactively to support the business by ensuring the integrity of the accounts and providing accurate financial reports.
They will be able to discuss your business’s financial health, assess operations and systems, and give you valuable advice.
