FAQ's

1What are financial statements?

Financial statements are formal records of the financial activities and position of a business. They often include a balance sheet (showing assets and liabilities), profit and loss statement (showing the net profit/loss) and notes to the standards, policies and assumptions used in the preparation. The financial accounts can sometimes include a cash flow statement.

2Why do I need financial statements?

Financial statements are essential for Inland Revenue and Companies Act compliance, informed decision-making, bank/investor confidence, and monitoring and improving your business's financial health.

3How often should financial statements be prepared?

Financial statements should be prepared at least annually. More proactive businesses benefit from quarterly or monthly statements, so they know exactly how they are tracking. This allows them to take advantage of opportunities quicker or remedy problems before they get out of hand. It also reduces tax surprises.
