The old saying "if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail" is very true. We believe that every organisation should have a plan. Planning as a minimum might be a profit and cashflow forecast, right through to a full blown business and/or strategic plan. We believe that a business plan should be your document, your plan, and we will work with you to develop your plan. We have a range of planning tools and a lot of experience in this area.   At Plus we offer the traditional service of preparation and filing of all tax returns, including GST & FBT returns. We also understand that tax is often one of the biggest expenses in any business, and so we have a range of strategies to legitimately reduce where possible the amount of tax you have to pay At $450 plus GST you will find our company formation service quick, efficient and painless. Included is your IRD registrations and qualifying company elections (where appropriate). We have the expedience and skills to prepare your weekly, fortnightly or monthly payrolls. We monitor leave and sickness entitlements, calculate your monthly PAYE, and can even organise the payment of employee wages via internet or MTS for you. We are not financial planners. We don't sell or promote any form of investment whatsoever. We are therefore able to sit with you to discuss the whole range of retirement issues that face us all today. From Trusts, to how and what to save, to rental property investments, to what the tax implications of different investments are. Brent Martin, our Director, is a trustee of quite a few client family trusts. He is a big fan of trusts and we have a wealth of knowledge and advice to provide on this topic. Money is the end result of business. Money (or the lack of it!) must be managed. As accountants we are well placed to advise you on all of the financial aspects of business, from borrowing, to costing, to margins, to investment, to tax, to cashlow versus profit, to creditor and debtor management, to your relationship with your bank, to management of your business expenses, to the funding of your assets, to your business returns. Cash is vital to any business. A profitable business can fail because it doesn't have enough cash. We can provide a cash flow plan for you, forecast the lean times, and suggest how you will overcome them. We can manage your bills for you. Pay them when they are due, and check that they are right. This leaves you to focus on what you are good at - which is making money doing whatever it is that you do! We like to see ourselves as your business GP's. Business feeling a little sick? Bring your symptoms to us, and we will see what we can do to help treat the symptoms and the cause. In the same way you can go to your GP for a check up, we will keep an eye on things as part of our annual services to you. Plus Audit is an audit firm owned by us. Companies cannot currently audit companies which is why we need the separation. External financial statement auditing is often viewed as a negative process but please come and talk to us and we try and teach as we audit. Be it monthly, two monthly, quarterly or six monthly we can tailor an interim reporting solution for your business. This gives you as a business manager the up to date information you need to better manage your business, allowing you to react to the trends of your business.
