Detect and prevent excess/unjustified bank charges and ensures transactions are posted correctly by your
bank.

Detect and prevent embezzlement of funds from within your company.

accounted for on your financial statement.

Manage your cash more effectively. Proper management of funds not only saves money, it makes money for
you.

or forged checks presented to your bank and paid by that bank. Believe it, they do happen.
·
Sleep Better. You will sleep more peacefully at night knowing your bank accounts are reconciled, in balance and
that all cheques and disbursed funds are properly accounted for.
Income Statement
An income statement, otherwise known as a profit and loss statement, basically adds an itemised list of all
your revenues and subtracts an itemised list of all your expenses to come up with a profit or loss for the
period.
An income statement allows you to...
·
Track revenues and expenses so that you can determine the operating performance of your
business.
·
Determine what areas of your business are over-budget or under-budget.
· I
dentify specific items that are causing unexpected expenditures. Like phone, fax, mail, or supply
expenses.
·
Track dramatic increases in product returns or cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales.
·
Determine your income tax liability.
·
And much more …
Balance
Sheet
A balance sheet gives you a snapshot of your business' financial condition at a specific moment in
time.
A balance sheet helps you...
·
Quickly get a handle on the financial strength and capabilities of your business.
·
Identify and analyse trends, particularly in the area of receivables and payables. For example, if your
receivables cycle is lengthening, maybe you can collect your receivables more
aggressively.
·
Determine if your business is in a position to expand.
·
Determine if your business can easily handle the normal financial ebbs and flows of revenues and
expenses?
·
Determine if you need to take immediate steps to bolster cash reserves?
·
Determine if your business has been slowing down payables to forestall an inevitable cash
shortage?
Balance sheets, along with income statements, are the most basic elements in providing financial reporting to
potential lenders such as banks, investors, and vendors who are considering how much credit to grant
you.
